“And how are they to preach unless they are sent? ‘How beautiful are the feet of those who bring

good news’” (Rom. 10:15). Our seminaries perform the crucial work of training men to serve God’s people in Word and Sacrament.

Consistent teaching of the Lord’s Word in line with our Confessions and Lutheran tradition is critical to spiritual and pastoral formation. Our church needs such pastors to bring the true, gentle, and life-giving Word to this troubled world. I would be honored to support CTSFW in its work of forming deeply rooted pastors and deaconesses to meet the needs of the church.

Pause and Pray at 3:07 p.m.

At 3:07 each day, remember John 15:7 and pray for Christ's Church, the convention, our leaders, and the work of the Gospel among us.
