Fall 2022
As fall rolls around, many students from our Synod’s seminaries
and universities are heading out into the field for the first time.
Third-year seminarians are starting vicarages, where they will gain
valuable experience that will shape their future service to the church. Meanwhile, in Latin America, three new pastors and 12 new deaconesses will serve in locations throughout the region after graduating in May from Concordia the Reformer Seminary and Mercy Center in the Dominican Republic. The Fall 2022 issue shares these stories and more, giving a glimpse of how God is at work around the world.
