It might be helpful if more local LCMS congregations throughout the country promote the Concordia colleges and universities for the young people in their churches, perhaps also offering some scholarship money, grants, and a little financial help. Thus, we are investing in our denomination and in people. It takes a commitment and Lutherans in the Synod must come to the realization we are called as Christians to support Christian education. If everyone donated a little more money and effort, and of course prayers for continued growth....well....God is about action and work..and..just complaining or wishing will never solve problems.
