Women’s Convention Reflection

God’s grace overflows into every aspect of our callings. We do not need to do them perfectly; we can step out imperfectly because Jesus lived perfectly on our behalf. The Cross covers us and sends us out to tell of the good news of Jesus Christ!

Truth Confirmed in Experience

Celebrating the CLB 125th Anniversary at BC26 was a foretaste of heaven. Is that sentiment too strong? This gathering was a reunion of saints. The Lord was present among us through his Word and Sacrament.

CLB History of North American Mission

In 1954, delegates at the annual convention in Fergus Falls, Minnesota, approved a landmark constitutional amendment that dissolved the long-standing CLB Mission Board and replaced it with two new independent boards: a Board of Foreign Missions and a Board of Home Missions.

The Journey to Disciple Making

North American Mission has a history of coming alongside churches and assisting to lead our denomination in three ministry areas: youth and young adults, church planting, and church vitality.

A Legacy of Disciple Making

I’ve been involved with leading weekly Sunday worship gatherings in some capacity since 2007. But my calling to worship ministry began about three years before that, when I was thirteen years old.

Investing in Young Adults

As the Church of the Lutheran Brethren, we are committed to being a disciple-making movement. A vital part of that mission is developing and equipping the next generation to not only be part of the Church, but to take ownership within it.

Rooted Ministry Update

The Rooted Gap Year program is quickly coming to the close of its second year, and it’s an interesting time, living in three different years. We pour our hearts into this year’s students; we interact with the students who inquire about next year; and finally, we stay connected with last year’s students, hearing how God is continuing to grow and shape them.

15 Years in Ishinomaki

March 11, 2011. 15 years have passed since that tragic day. The day northern Japan was hit by a magnitude 9.0 earthquake, giant tsunami waves, and a nuclear disaster. The day when life, as we knew it before, changed forever… As I have been glancing through 15 years of prayer letter updates, however, the theme I see over and over is God’s faithfulness in providing exactly what was needed, at exactly the right time.

CLB History of Christian Education

By the time the CLB reached its one-year anniversary in December 1901, it was apparent to all within the CLB that they must find a viable Bible school option for training their own pastors and missionaries or fade away from the lack thereof.

Unleashing New Leaders at Lutheran Brethren Seminary

By his grace, God is raising up new leaders, equipping them in his Word, and blessing the partnerships we have with students, synodical ministries, and local CLB congregations.
