Nominee study-aid caution

This Nominees reader is an AI-assisted, file-extracted study aid. It is not the official ballot, not an official LCMS nominee resource, and not a voting recommendation. Extraction tools can miss names, misplace candidates, omit cross-listed offices, mismatch photos, or format details incorrectly. Always verify every nominee name, office, region, board, commission, page number, and ballot detail against the official LCMS nominee publication and final convention ballot before making voting judgments.

I am deeply interested in serving on the Board for International Mission because of its clear commitment to proclaiming Christ among the nations.

The opportunity to support global partnerships, encourage indigenous church leadership and LCMS missionaries, and participate in faithful, confessional mission work resonates strongly with my vocation and gifts. I value collaboration, cultural humility, and theological integrity in advancing the Gospel. Ibelieve international mission requires both steadfast confession and compassionate presence. I would be honored to contribute to work that strengthens partner churches and advances the LCMS mission worldwide.
