Recognition of distinguished servants in the Lord’s harvest
It is with great joy that we celebrate and give thanks for the service of all LCMS career and volunteer missionaries who have faithfully served the Lord over the years with gladness, allowing themselves to be used as instruments to build His kingdom in North America and around the world. And, we pray for those men and women still yet to serve—that the Lord will raise up a mighty missionary army for Himself that will continue to proclaim His truth in Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria and to the ends of the earth!
