Lutheran Missionary Education:
Some Thoughts on Integrating Our Tradition
by the Rev. Dr. Detlev Schulz
Associate Professor of Pastoral Ministry and Missions
Concordia Theological Seminary, Fort Wayne, Ind.

As much as the Reformation reminds us to look at missions as a gift of God directed towards us, we also become bearers of this gift to others.
Missionary Pastors and Lutheran Missions by the Rev. Timothy Quill
Coordinator of the Russian Project
Concordia Theological Seminary, Fort Wayne, Ind.

To be a pastor is to be a missionary pastor. There is no other kind of pastor. What are pastors authorized by the risen Lord to do? Make disciples of all nations.
Lutheran Missiology and Campus Ministry by the Rev. John T. Pless
Campus Pastor
University Lutheran Chapel, Minneapolis, Minn.

Campus ministry in the Lutheran Church — Missouri Synod seeks both guard and guide the faith of our own Lutheran students, while at the same time, carry the good news of Christ to those who live without Him.
The Language of the Heart by Amy Kashenov
a missionary in the Republic of Kazakhstan
located in the former Soviet Union.

To communicate Christ to a person or people, you need to speak in a language they understand. To take it one step further, to most effectively share Christ in a way that impacts the listener, you should speak in the language of his heart.
Peace for the Warrior by the Rev. Dr. Daniel Gard
Associate Professor of Exegetical Theology
Concordia Theological Seminary, Fort Wayne, Ind.

To be a chaplain means to know the joys and sorrows, the pleasures and suffering, the courage and fears of warriors. If they are deployed to a forward position, he is deployed with them. If they face imminent attack, he faces it with them. If their lives are in danger, his life is in danger. To a chaplain who truly serves Christ, there is no being "in the rear with the gear." Where his people are, there he must be. Why? Christ must be there with them.
