Spring 2018

A cross cut into the stump of a damaged tree stands outside of Peace Lutheran Church, Rockport, Texas. Recovery work is still underway almost six months after Hurricane Harvey devastated parts of Texas.
God is opening Gospel doors in unique ways and in diverse locations at home and abroad — among international students studying on our nation’s college campuses, through the singing of the faith in different tongues, by preparing indigenous pastors to serve their neighbors, and as reading skills are learned along with God’s Word. Your prayers and gifts to the LCMS Global Mission Fund help make this and so much more possible! Enjoy reading about how God is working through His Church for the salvation of many.
In Christ,
Pamela J. Nielsen
Associate Executive Director, LCMS Communications
