Bring Joy to the World
Today over 240 ELCA missionaries are
heeding God’s call to share the good news of Jesus Christ. Some are teachers, others
are doctors and others are pastors in some of the fastest growing churches
around the world. Others still are young adults engaging in a life-changing
year of global service. They all serve in response to invitations from our
global companions in more than 40 countries.
No matter where or how they serve,
every one of these missionaries needs your prayers, support and gifts to
succeed in their work. Your gift connects you directly to these missionaries
and enables you to participate in what God is doing around the world. You make
their life-changing ministry happen.
Thanks to your support, missionaries like the Rev. Justin and Kari Eller are working alongside our companions in
Christ throughout South America. They are making a difference through their
involvement with ELCA projects like these:
•
Seminary education in Argentina
•
Primary health care in Chile
•
Microcredit in Bolivia
•
Mission outreach in Peru
•
Support for children in Brazil
•
Christian education in Latin America and the Caribbean
Kari says about the Lutherans in Bolivia, “We see the Bible come
alive in hospitality, like a shawl put on your shoulders when you are cold.
It’s a place where God’s glory can be seen in the perseverance of the women and
men who, despite years of discrimination, continue to live a life that shines
the light of Christ.”
Your gifts help make the Ellers’ ministry happen and bring joy
to this world. Thank you!!
