An Update From the Manteys

Dear Pr. Scott and the faithful of Saint Paul’s,

Greetings in Christ. Megan and I pray that all of you are well. Thank you for your prayers and support as we continue to serve our Lord throughout Africa.

The LCMS has partnered together with Concordia St. Louis (CSL) for an online Master’s in Theology program for African pastors. They’re now in their second year. Megan serves as a facilitator for 3 of the 6 students. This means she gets to check in and learn how studies are going, help with being in an American education program, and tutor as needed. In January, the students traveled to Nairobi Kenya, where our field office hosted them for an intensive class led by a CSL professor. Megan and I had the joy of hosting the professor at our home and sharing more about life in East Africa with him.

We’re grateful for these ministry opportunities, and that more men can gain higher education to help spread the Gospel. Please pray for these pastors as they continue with their studies. Thank you, again, for your prayers and partnership in mission.

Peace in Christ, Mark and Megan
