LIMM Awards Travel Grant to Jamielynn Tinkey

LIMM is happy to introduce to you Jamielynn Tinkey and to share the good news that thanks to you, we are able to provide a $1500 travel grant so that she can be part of a Lutheran Church Missouri Synod Mercy Medical Team (MMT) this spring.

“My name is Jamielynn Tinkey, and I serve as a GEO Missionary to the Latin America and Caribbean Region of mission through the LCMS Office of International Ministry! I am 23 years old, a registered nurse and I currently serve on the regional team as the Human Care Coordinator for our missionaries and their families serving in 10 distinct countries across Latin America. I am delighted to be able to join the upcoming Mercy Medical Team to Tanzania and work alongside missionaries and team members to provide care, both physically and spiritually. Not only that, but my team throughout Latin America looks forward to working alongside LIMM and MMTs in the future. Because of this travel grant, I am able to make this trip, where I can put my skills to work as our team serves and learns together! Thank you, LIMM!!”

LIMM Awards Travel Grant to Rose Howard, Parish Nurse

Due to the generosity of our donors, LIMM is once again able to partner with Lutheran Parish Nurses International (LPNI), by awarding a travel grant to Parish Nurse Rose Howard of Adelaide, Australia, enabling her to attend the study tour this year. Rose is a retired nurse who continues to serve as a “pastoral care health worker” in her congregation. Rose also serves as an officer for the Lutheran Nurses of Australia. 
 
The study tour is planned for Sept. 13 – 20, and will be held in Canada. Past tours have included Palestine (Bethlehem), Australia, Finland, the USA, Germany, New Zealand, Brazil and England. The object of these tours is to enable participants to learn something about the Lutheran church in the countries visited, about Parish Nursing in the country, additional aspects that may be of interest to nurses, and to network with people in similar roles and learn from each other. Each tour includes worship, seminars, on-site visits, and informal discussions. These tours help promote socio-cultural awareness. 
 
Rose will be able to share her experience with other parish nurses in the Lutheran Church Australia and utilize the information gained to review and renew her parish health ministry in her congregation. We will be posting updates from Rose to share with you later this year.

LIMM Supports Training in West Africa

Sarah Kanoy is a friend of LIMM and of every one of you. Your donations in the past made it possible for Sarah, along with Stephanie Schulte and Molly Christensen, to complete Community Health Education “Train the Trainer” courses before heading to Africa. Next month the three of them will present a “Women’s Cycle of Life” Seminar in West Africa, providing much needed knowledge that will in turn be shared by those attending with many others.
We will be posting more from Sarah and Steph during the seminar, and wanted you to see the Thank You below. Sarah thanks you and so do we!

LIMM Welcomes New Board Members

LIMM welcomes Drs. Joel and Scarlet Holcombe to our Board of Directors. Joel and Scarlet live in Tallahassee, FL. They actually met on a mission trip, and their love for short term missions has not decreased. Joel is an emergency medicine physician, working at Colquitt Regional Medical Center in Moultrie, Georgia. Scarlet is a PharmD, and has worked in various medical centers as a staff pharmacist, as well as Director of Pharmacy at Capitol Regional Medical Center in Tallahassee.  They work with Medical Mission Teams, a non-profit medical mission group that they founded, and focus on short term mission trips, serving as mentors/preceptors to pharmacy students from Mercer University on trips to Kenya, Guatemala and Madagascar.  Scarlet also serves on the admission committee of Mercer University Southern School of Pharmacy. They have served on too many short term trips to count (way over 50) to areas including Kenya, Tanzania, Madagascar, Indonesia, Myanmar, Belize, Nicaragua, Guatemala, and Honduras. We are honored to have them join us with their passion for missions and education, and look forward to their contributions to our future endeavors.

LIMM is pleased to announce the awarding of two new grants this fall:

$5000 to Concordia Welfare & Education Foundation (CWEF) Health Education: Advocacy and Literacy (HEAL) Program, Cambodia.​​ In its third year, the HEAL program in the village of Spean Chrey has already provided sanitary latrines for families and conducted several health and wellness trainings for the HEAL advocates, who then share what they learn with the community. The teaching method used in the trainings engages the participants in a process of reflection and action, equipping and empowering them to find sustainable solutions to their problems.

We will be sharing stories from Madagascar and Cambodia in the weeks to come. It is your support that makes it possible to provide grants such as these. We thank God for each of you!
