We’re back! After a yearlong printing hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we are so pleased to bring you this issue of Lutherans Engage the World. Even though the pandemic disrupted many things, it could not stop the Gospel from going forth. In the Fall 2021 issue, you’ll read about how the work of the church continues around the world, in places as diverse as Alaska, Louisiana and Finland. Thanks for continuing to join us on the journey.
