A Special Message to You!

 
In an effort to proclaim worldwide the One Message—Christ! (the theme of our convention) I am pledging my assistance to encourage the greatest gathering of gifts that our church has ever witnessed through a special National Offering.  Preparing Pastors Worldwide is our Synod's opportunity to prepare messengers of the Word—pastors who are called to proclaim boldly that Jesus Christ alone is Savior of the world!

Your gift to this National Offering will support the special tie that binds the church and its seminaries.  Two-thirds of your gifts will support Concordia Seminary in St. Louis, MO, and Concordia Theological Seminary in Fort Wayne, IN.  The remaining one-third will support seminaries of LCMS partner churches around the world.

Your lead gift will support the preaching and teaching of the Good News of salvation through Jesus Christ to a world that is lost.  Please send your gift today.  Make sure your offering is counted among those faithfully encouraging and supporting our Lutheran seminaries in preparing pastors around the world.

May God bless these special gifts as the One Message—Christ! is proclaimed to the world.

Yours in Christ!

Rev. Dr. Gerald B. Kieschnick, President
The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod

Preparing Pastors Worldwide is our Synod's opportunity to prepare messengers of the Word.  From the campuses of our seminaries, men eagerly enter the mission field to lead congregations and engage the world with the truth that Jesus Christ alone is Savior of the world! Your gift will make a critical difference at our seminaries.  In turn, our seminaries work diligently in preparing messengers of the Word to proclaim that “His love is here for you!” (1 John 4:9-11). On behalf of our pastors and future pastors around the world, the LCMS Board for Pastoral Education thanks you for your prayerful and generous support through this National Offering.        >>>More About The National Offering
