Personal Statement
“You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden” (Matt. 5:14). We are God’s people, called to be the light of Christ in this ever-darkening world. Our beloved Synod has every blessing needed to bring the truth and grace of Christ to our neighbors and communities. We must do this, while boldly clinging to Christ and nothing else! I’m honored to be nominated to serve as Central Region Vice-President and will work hard to see our Lord’s mission carried out. God grant us all the gifts to serve Him well.
