It has been my honor to serve on the Board for International Mission for the last five years. The knowledge Ihave gained on the board has supplemented my own experience, enabling me better to support our missionaries and the Office of International Mission. We face great challenges, but with great challenges come great opportunities.
Caring for our missionaries on the field, increasing their number, and encouraging their support is of the utmost importance. As a Board member, I will continue to be a voice to the Synod from the congregations and to the congregations from the Synod.
