Lutherans Engage – Summer 2025

Summer 2025

All around the world, there are Lutheran church workers and
laypeople who are serving quietly and humbly. They reach out to
people who have just moved to a new place. They care for families in turmoil. They support fellow workers going through a crisis.

Where the devil seeks to isolate, God uses the loving service of His people to bring comfort and share the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Thank you for reading this issue of Lutherans Engage the World and for your own acts of service, whatever they may be.
