Rev. Nathaniel and Emma Jensen

Serving the Lord in Germany


Bio

The Rev. Nathaniel and Emma Jensen serve the Lord through The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod (LCMS) in Kaiserslautern, Germany. Nathaniel is pastor of Kaiserslautern Evangelical Lutheran Church, which serves U.S. military members stationed in the area as well as other English speakers. In addition, Nathaniel works with the Synod’s partner church in Germany to proclaim the Gospel to non-English speakers, and he serves as a mentor to seminary students throughout the region.

Nathaniel was born in St. Louis, Mo., and his home congregation is Peace Lutheran Church, St. Louis. He received a bachelor’s degree in German and Theological Languages from Concordia University Wisconsin, Mequon, Wis. (CUW), and a Master of Divinity degree from Concordia Theological Seminary, Fort Wayne, Ind. In his free time, he enjoys traveling, reading and birding.

Emma is from Sault Ste. Marie, Mich., and her home congregation is St. Barnabas Lutheran Church, Sault Ste. Marie. She received a bachelor’s degree in Parish Music (including organ and violin) from CUW, which she puts to good use at the congregation in Kaiserslautern. She also studied Theological Languages. Emma previously served as parish music director at St. John Amelith Lutheran Church and School in Bay City, Mich. In her free time, Emma enjoys music, reading, baking and hiking. Nathaniel and Emma have one daughter, Agatha, who is with them on the mission field.

Prayers

Pray for the Jensens as they serve in Germany. Pray that God would bring the U.S. forces stationed around the world to His holy Word and Sacraments. Pray also for the return of the German people to the Gospel of Jesus Christ and for the successful proclamation of that Gospel to the non-Christian peoples of Europe. Ask the Lord to be with the seminary students in Europe, that they might learn to teach the faithful, reach the lost and care for all, ever holding fast to the Holy Scriptures and the Lutheran Confessions.

The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod Inc., including Mission Central (in Mapleton, Iowa), is an IRS registered 501(c)(3) tax-exempt charity.

A contribution designated (restricted) for a specific purpose, when accepted, will be used only to fund expenses related to that purpose. Occasionally, we may receive more in contributions for a particular purpose than can be wisely applied to it in the foreseeable future or the purpose may cease to be feasible. In these situations, the LCMS will make reasonable attempts to contact contributors to apply their contribution toward another aspect of ministry that aligns closely the contributor’s goals and values. If a contributor cannot be contacted, the LCMS will use the gift to meet a similar pressing need that most closely matches the contributor's original intent.

Consistent with Synod Board policy and in recognition of a more challenging economic and philanthropic/fundraising environment due to inflationary pressure, not more than 13.5 percent of any charitable contribution will be allocated to administering gifts and communicating with contributors. Contributions received and accepted by the LCMS are deemed to be in agreement with this statement.
