Commitment to and care for the mission of the Synod, with experience in pastoral ministry, building projects, and fundraising, as well as secular business and development, are all helpful skills and experiences Ibring to this position. The work of the LCMS Foundation is vital to the present and future ministry of the LCMS. I’m thankful for the opportunity to continue working with the Board of Trustees to strengthen the work of the Foundation during this term.
