Richard and Sarah Sovitzky
Serving in the Asia region
Bio
Richard and Sarah Sovitzky serve on behalf of The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod (LCMS) in the Asia region. As the Asia region’s business manager, Richard works closely with the Asia regional director to manage the financial and business affairs of the LCMS in this part of the world. More specifically, Richard’s duties include supporting all LCMS personnel serving in this region and working with local church partners on long-term mission projects.
Richard was born in West Allis, Wis. He received a bachelor’s degree in accounting and a master’s degree in management information systems from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. Before serving in Asia, he was a partner at Chortek, LLP, an accounting and information technology consulting firm based in the greater Milwaukee, Wis., area. Richard enjoys distance running, cross country skiing, windsurfing, traveling, reading and live theater.
Sarah was born in Kenosha, Wis. She received a bachelor’s degree and a master’s degree in speech language pathology from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. Before heading to Asia, she worked in speech language pathology and also homeschooled her children. Sarah’s hobbies include reading, dancing, live theater and the Irish whistle. Richard and Sarah love spending time with their eight beautiful children – Isabel, Richard, Nathanael, Ronan, Ulrich, Donovan, Rhiannon and Elspeth.
Prayers
Pray for the Sovitzky family as they serve in the Asia region. Pray they are given strength and peace so they may effectively and with joy do the work created for them to do. Pray also that the hearts of people here in the United States are moved to pray for and to financially support this family so they can “go with” them on this journey. Let us give thanks that the Sovitzky family is serving in this part of the world.
