NWIM Synod Council has authorized the Companion Synod Team to raise funds towards the purchase of a Solar Electric Cooking System (SECS) to replace the hazardous combustion system. In addition to producing on-site electricity for stove-top and oven cooking, the SECS would power a water pumping system and water purification system. A reputable supplier and trustworthy installation contractor have already been identified, and preliminary discussions with them are underway.
In addition to your prayers, any donation you and your congregation could provide for this project in 2026 would bring our ELCT sisters and brothers in UKD closer to realizing their dream of having a clean, zero-emission, solar-powered kitchen. If each worshipping unit within NWIM Synod gifted just $125/year towards this project, the remaining need would be fully funded in seven years!
