Com. 6.
I am willing to run for and to serve a term on the Board for International Mission beginning 2026. The BIM has had some turnover since 2016, when I first got elected to it and began serving it. Few of us are now left with much memory of how some situations have changed in this time.
My school, engineering, volunteer, and other backgrounds have had me studying and working overseas in Asia, Africa, Europe, and elsewhere over decades (in French or Chinese where useful)
and visiting, meeting, and supporting LCMS missionaries, partner churches, military chaplains, and others where they are.
full Bible. We are at a historical moment for Scripture access that we, as a church body, cannot miss. Synod’s international mission efforts must remain faithful while also responsive to complex global realities. Effective mission requires listening well to partners. Seeing the opportunity for alignment in strategy between global agencies, I welcome the opportunity to support the Board for International Mission in strengthening collaboration and sustainability and bringing God’s Word to every language community.
