“I can’t be an international missionary because. … ”
The answers people give to complete that statement are often based on myths about what they think a missionary is and what one does.
On Saturday, Oct. 24, 10–11 a.m. Central Daylight Time, join a panel of current missionaries and DCE Anne Gonzalez, manager of missionary recruitment for The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod (LCMS) Office of International Mission, as they explore how LCMS missionaries spread the Gospel, plant Lutheran churches and show mercy around the world.
You will discover the truth about common misconceptions regarding missionary service, hear firsthand missionary accounts from actual missionaries, and learn about the many ways God calls His people to participate in international mission work.
Whether you’re prayerfully considering serving overseas or looking for meaningful ways to support LCMS global mission from where you are, you’ll leave encouraged, inspired and equipped to take your next step in God’s mission.
