Pastor Megan Honored By Dalai Lama

 

On Sunday February 23rd, Pastor Megan was received an honorable mention as an Unsung Hero of Compassion by His Holiness the Dalai Lama.  His Holiness was present at the event and spoke about compassion and peace.  Video of the presentation can be found here.

Dick Grace, from the Grace Family Winery Foundation helped coordinate the event shared that he believed the real unsung heroes were the vulnerable individuals who were being cared for by those being honored. 

The Grace Family Winery Foundation provided Welcome with a grant that will cover the costs of a Health and Vision Event on the Big Island of Hawaii.  At this event Pastor Megan will partner with the congregants at The Lutheran Church of the Holy Trinity in Kailua Kona.
