My husband and I have adjusted to many different aspects of life here in Brazil – the food, driving a stick shift car, hearing Portuguese every day – but the one thing we have never quite gotten used to is winter.
When we lived in the United States I always looked forward to winter, to sitting […]
A few days ago, we were invited to be godparents at a middle school graduation. This was for the daughter of a couple who we are friends with, and are also members of the church. They stopped by at about 11 p.m. the night before to drop off the official invitation we would need to […]
Every day is an opportunity for us to give thanks for the grace we have been given, but recently the students at the “It Is Finished” Bible Institute and Seminary have shared their stories of thankfulness with each other.

There are many joys on the LATTE team as the men are involved in many areas of ministry not only teaching. One of the special blessings is the privilege to baptize children.

One of the Mexican seminary students, Carlos Rosales, is currently in northern Sonora, a Mexican state that borders Arizona. To get there, he had to take a 19-hour bus ride from Torreón.
His long trip has a good purpose: Carlos is there as part of seminary recruitment efforts. Missionary Ron Baerbock is working with many souls […]

Why do wives go to the CELC? Is it to shop for Pchenko dolls at the bazaars of Kiev? sight-see ? experience the underground mall at Independence Square? Maybe somewhat. However, about 20 of us came also because we share a love and zeal for our husbands’ work in the Kingdom and we are equally […]
Russia claims to be the most literate nation on earth. Russians love to read. For this reason our mission has worked hard to translate and publish quality literature which faithfully proclaims God’s truth. Just a few days before Ash Wednesday, the Novosibirsk publishing house delivered 5,000 copies of the People’s Bible “Luke.” “Luke” is the […]
They turned around to face the assembly in full celebration mode. Seven new pastors of All Saints Lutheran Church of Nigeria, resplendent in their new white gowns, purple stoles and starch-white clergy collars, managed broad smiles.
