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!
