Free Download: Lutherans engage
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.

Four Hours
And they devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers.
– Acts 2:42

Recently I was reading the August edition of the LCMS newspaper, The Reporter. One article discussed a congregation in Kenya, stating? On an ordinary Sunday morning in the Samburu County of Kenya, 10 women rise before the sun to make the four-hour walk to attend church in Wamba.

Did you catch that? Before dawn, ten women rise and walk four hours to church. We don’t do this in the US, do we? We will refuse to drive even forty minutes to get to a church because we deem it “too far away." Yet these women rise early and walk four hours, one way, to church.
