God in All Things - Without Borders | |
Bishop Jeff Miskus joined Pastor Philip Gai and the congregation from The Church of St. Mark Lutheran, Mississauga, ON, for their Canadian Thanksgiving worship services. The Bishop preached at both worship services and enjoyed fellowship with members of the congregation afterwards. | |
Our English District has been blessed by having Pastor David Tannahill serving in the area of Evangelism. He has worked hard to listen to what others were doing, then producing a monthly update that reflected ideas and programs being implemented in our District. However, Pastor Tannahill is no longer serving in this capacity,
We believe that God will always supply what we need. We are praying for God to raise up individuals passionate and bold, to work together as our District Evangelism Team. We are asking you to join in this prayer.
If you have a heart for sharing the Gospel with those outside of the Body of Jesus, connecting with individuals for whom Jesus died on the cross, and are interested in working with a team to encourage and strengthen others to also share this good news, then maybe this opportunity is for you.
Please contact Pastor Derek Mathers for more information or to express your willingness to be part of the team.

"Our Lord commissioned His church to preach Christ crucified until He returns, that all may hear the Gospel and have saving faith. We pray earnestly that the Lord will provide us with pastors and church workers to preach and teach the Good News."

Hope, Grand Rapids, MI
Pastor Christopher Nuttelman, who serves Hope Lutheran Church, and his wife Amy, have started a Lutheran homeschool co-op. Joining other Lutheran homeschooling families in the area, the homeschool co-op takes place twice a month and includes a chapel service, catechism, church year studies, sacred music and art, and other fine arts. Co-op students recently studied Saint Michael and all angels which included the destruction of a Satan pinata. It was empty...the object lesson being that Satan has nothing good to give to us.
We pray that God will protect this ministry and allow it to thrive for His glory and give thanks to His saints who initiated this program!
