MISSIONARY CONRAD (and family) NEWS!
Grace, mercy, and peace be unto all of you from God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen. Greetings in the name of the Lord! We hope that you are enjoying your final days of summer. In Latin America, Spanish reigns as the dominant language and the LCMS mission effort primarily works among the Spanish speaking peoples of the region. Nevertheless, the LCMS has missionaries who serve on the island of Jamaica where English is spoken. Moreover, several of our seminarians call Haiti their home country where French is the national language. Throughout the world many language groups exist. Yet under Christ we remember that there is one faith, one Lord, and one baptism. Let us continue to proclaim this life-giving truth to all the nations. The seminarians now have a slight break from their studies until the classes begin in September.
During this time, they continue to serve in the local churches as they help in the worship services and Bible studies. A new seminarian, Carlos Juan, who hails from Santo Domingo, the capital city of the Dominican Republic, has arrived at the seminary in Santiago. He is presently in orientation and will begin his studies in September. All the seminarians and faculty give Carlos Juan a hearty welcome aboard. Remember Carlos Juan in your prayers as he prepares for the Holy Ministry.
The ZOOM application has proved to be very useful for the pastoral formation of Latin American pastors. The great majority of our pastors in training are not able to make a trip to the Dominican Republic where our resident seminary is located. They take their classes by connecting to our classroom via the ZOOM application
PERSONAL NOTES: We thank God for the mission in Latin America. Your support provides Biblical training for national pastors, deacons, and deaconesses. Prayerfully consider how the Lord may be leading you to support this vital mission. The Lord provides the funding for His mission efforts through the donations of His local churches and its individual members.
Through your financial donations national pastors and deaconesses will be formed and mentored so that they may spread the Gospel throughout Latin America. Together we partner with God to take the Gospel to the far ends of the earth. We thank you for supporting the mission in Latin America. God’s richest blessings! Have a blessed summer!
I thank my God every time I remember you. In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now, being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus. Philippians 1.3
Soli Deo Gloria,
Daniel and Kathy
