Opportunities to Serve in International Mission!

from The Coffee Hour from KFUO Radio

What does it look like for laypeople and rostered church workers to spread the Gospel overseas? The Rev. Dr. Mark Rabe (Director of Missionary Recruitment, LCMS Office of International Mission) joins Andy and Sarah to talk about his own story of serving as a missionary in Africa, what he learned during his time of service that helps him encourage others to serve internationally, the current opportunities available to serve with LCMS International Mission, who is well-suited to serve in these positions, and how the LCMS trains and forms new missionaries for success on the field. Learn more and find your own opportunity to serve at servenow.lcms.org. As you grab your morning coffee (and pastry, let’s be honest), join hosts Andy Bates and Sarah Gulseth as they bring you stories of the intersection of Lutheran life and a secular world. Catch real-life stories of mercy work of the LCMS and partners, updates from missionaries across the ocean, and practical talk about how to live boldly Lutheran.
