\n
\n\"Sanguma\"The Congolese refer to Palmberg as \u201cthe father with the great, great love,\u201d said CEUM President Mossai Sanguma (top photo). He explained the phrase does not refer to an authoritarian paternalistic relationship, \u201cbut the intimacy between a dad and his children.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sanguma told Palmberg, \u201cYour love to us in the Congo has been proved through the Paul Carlson Partnership<\/a> (PCP).\u201d<\/p>\n

Noting the benefits of the PCP, Sanguma declared, \u201cWomen who could not read, today can read. Women who left schools a long time ago have come back to school.\u201d He added that roads have been fixed, schools improved, and HIV is being treated.<\/p>\n

He emphasized that the relationship will continue. \u201cThe CEUM has sent me to let you know that there is no retirement from praying for the people in the Congo,\u201d Sanguma said. \u201cWe will continue to be in touch, and we know also that you will continue to be in our prayer.<\/p>\n

\"Bertil\"Bertil Svensson (lower photo), mission director of the MCCS thanked Palmberg for his support and stressed the importance of the two bodies working in partnership. \u201cWe are bound together to serve each other in the worldwide church,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
