FREE DOWNLOAD: Lutherans engage - Summer 2026
There will always be a desire to have more workers in the church: more pastors to fill vacancies, more rostered teachers to serve in Lutheran schools, more missionaries to send around the globe. At the same time, we trust that the Lord provides.

The Summer 2026 issue of Lutherans Engage the World highlights a few of the ways that the Lord does just that, as He calls people into His service from secular careers, during times of transition and through formative experiences like time spent at a Lutheran camp. Sometimes, He also sends partners from other countries to join us in His mission. Thanks be to God that He uses all things — even imperfect people like us — to encourage His children and accomplish His purposes.

Building Daily Rhythms of Devotion
Story by Mary Henrichs | Photography by Erik M. Lunsford | Fall 2026

Families of Trinity Lutheran Church in Springfield, Mo., receive support from their congregation to build intentional practices of faith formation in their homes.
It’s still dark outside when the Love family gathers around their kitchen table in the morning. Coffee’s on, and banana chocolate chip muffins are slowly being munched. Aiden, a sixth-grader, rubs sleep out of his eyes. His older sister, Addison, joins him at the table.

It’s quiet as dad Ahren reaches for the devotion book and begins: “You have shown me the path of life, and You make me glad by being near to me.”

After Aiden reads the day’s Bible passage and Ahren reads from the Lutheran Book of Prayer, the Loves offer simple prayers from the heart — ex corde prayers — for one another.
