towards us, we also become bearers of this gift to others.

by the Rev. Timothy Quill

To be a pastor is to be a missionary pastor. There is no other kind of pastor.

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. |
