News from Pastor Wokoma
Beloved Sponsors of St. Barnabas West Africa Lutheran Mission; Have A Blessed New Month of March, 2026, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ who for us all and for our salvation came down from heaven fasting forty days and forty nights in the wilderness. Amen.
As you join in this year's Lenten walk and meditate on the suffering of our Lord, please include in your prayers the safety of the Christians in Africa who are suffering from persecution especially the Confessional Lutherans of JEM Lutheran Seminary. The Seminary cannot afford to experience any more insecurity this time that she is financially scrambling/struggling to survive, among others, the increased number of new students, and new faculty on campus as required by the Accreditation Board of the National University Commission.
In all, we thank the Lord who continue to protect and sustain the students and the faculty as the Seminary was able to observe its usual combined Ash Wednesday Service of the Seminarians, the Lutheran High School students, the Lutheran Nursery School pupils, and LCN Synod staff. God Be Praised!

A Blessed Ash Wednesday and Beginning of Lent!
Oh Lord, throughout these forty days You prayed and kept the fast;
Inspire repentance for our sin, And free us from our past.
You strove with Satan and You won; Your faithfulness endured;
Lend us Your nerve, Your skill and trust In God's eternal Word.
Through parched and hungry, yet You prayed And fixed Your mind above;
So teach us to deny ourselves, Since we have know God's love.
Be with us through this season, Lord, And all our earthy days,
That when the final Easter dawns, We join in heaven's praise.

Easter Break will begin on Monday of Easter, known as “Easter Monday” in some parts of Africa and the world. The reason is to enable the Seminarians to have hands-on-deck experience of the Trieduim.
PRAYER REQUEST(S)
Yet again, please continue to pray for my safety, and the safety of all the persecuted Christians in Africa especially this season of the church year as we are about to celebrate our Lord’s resurrection.
Almighty and everlasting God, You despise nothing You have made and forgive the sins of all who are penitent. Create in us new and contrite hearts that lamenting our sins and acknowledging our wretchedness we may receive from You full pardon and forgiveness; through Jesus Christ, our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.
Sincerely in-Christ,
Fr. Wokoma
The saying is trustworthy and deserving of full acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am the foremost. – 1 Tim. 1:15
