Lutherans Engage – Fall 2019

Fall 2019

“I just really felt the loving hand of God through this church.” The words of a young mother who was embraced by the members of the Lutheran Church of the Redeemer in Sanford, Fla., echo throughout this issue of Lutherans Engage the World.

From Tanzania and Malawi, to the mass events and service projects at this summer’s LCMS Youth Gathering, to the ordination of pastors in Latin America, God is at work through His church. We hope you’ll join us on the journey to see what God is doing and how He is blessing your gifts given for this work. Thanks be to God for your loving hands folded in prayer in support of our missionaries and mission efforts.

In Christ,
Pamela J. Nielsen
Associate Executive Director, LCMS Communications
