Martin Luther Quote

"The life of the godly appears to be an idle life and without any fruit and worth. But this is our great glory, that we know that our tears and each of the drops that fall from our eyes are numbered by God and that all things are written before the eyes of God and gathered in a golden vessel." - Martin Luther's Lectures on Genesis

JOIN THE 600 CLUB

Would you like to find a way you could make a real difference in the lives of real people on a continuing basis?

Do you want to see all of your efforts go for the goals you intended?

           The 600 CLUB at Peace Lutheran Church offers you the opportunity for both. The 600 CLUB members are committed to making a difference in the lives of AIDS orphans in Tanzania, Africa. All funds given through the 600 CLUB go directly to keep AIDS orphans in school when they have no family that can help them. The funds given through the 600 CLUB provide uniforms, shoes, and school supplies, pay tuition and school fees, board, and room for AIDS orphans. The funds are distributed by a committee consisting of a local doctor and nurse and other local residents working closely with over 8 pastors and 70 heads of schools in the Mwanga District of Tanzania to identify AIDS orphans and their needs and to make sure that the schools get the money you provide. All are volunteers, so none of your gifts go for overhead. There are presently 350 primary school students and 220 post primary school students in need of this help.

           Keeping students in school benefits the students and the community. It gives the students the opportunity to learn the two languages necessary to operate in the Tanzanian economy, English and Swahili. It delays the marriage age for girls so that they have fewer children and are less likely to die in childbirth, and keeps them out of prostitution. It allows them to acquire the job skills necessary to be self supporting and able to help their siblings. The students we are helping now are going out as teachers, mechanics, carpenters, computer operators, and in many other trades.

           To be a members of the 600 CLUB you pledge to give $50 per month for a year ($600) to support these AIDS orphans. You will get periodic reports on the orphans and will have dinner at the end of the year with other $600 CLUB members to view slides on the orphans and to celebrate their success that has come from your gifts. And you will feel good about what you have done!

           The 600 CLUB is a joint service of Peace Lutheran Church, Pella, IA, and Mwanga Lutheran Parish, Mwanga, Tanzania.

           Mwanahasa Kisimu is a student at Chanjale trade school in Mwanga, Tanzania. She is 18 years old and lives with her grandmother. Both of her parents died of AIDS. She has no siblings. You can help support students like Mwanahassa.
