The Perpetual Call for Pastors and Teachers
2025–2027 Mission Grant #4
The Perpetual Call for Pastors and Teachers
LCMS Office of Pastoral Education, U.S. $100,000
Set Apart to Serve (SAS) is a Synod-wide program focused on forming and recruiting full-time church workers. Supplying the church with workers is one of the highest priorities for The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod (LCMS). SAS is striving to develop a culture where every LCMS congregation, school, and entity intentionally forms and recruits church workers among their youth and adults. They are focusing on youth, second-career, multi-cultural ministry, and international outreach. Moving forward they will continue testing and refining all focus areas, form new partnerships, and expand resources available to congregations, schools, and families. There are three areas of focus. First, there has been an increased interest in full-time church work at the LCMS Youth Gathering, YouthLead, and Higher Things events. Concordia universities and seminaries are reporting increases in enrollment in church work programs, for the first time in 15 years. Second, fostering an intentional culture of recruitment and developing tools to identify second-career candidates is vital to increasing enrollment in the seminaries. Finally, the SAS strategies on multi-cultural and international workers will help bring all to know Jesus Christ. This $100,000 grant will help the Set Apart to Serve program encourage more members to consider church work. It will provide insight, collaboration, and needed resources to spread the saving Gospel message to all people.

Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest” (Matthew 9:37–38).
We Can All Witness & Outreach
We Can All Witness & Outreach
By: Mike Wallace, Congregational Vice President
Witnessing and outreaching outside our church doors involves engaging with people in everyday settings and events . . . activities in our community where we see and meet people. We can volunteer and assist in and around our area, shining our light of love for Christ bright in our actions and sharing our faith, sowing seeds, watering what’s planted, remember God brings the growth we just show His love.
Maybe you would choose to share your faith over coffee or a meal by inviting friends or neighbors who don’t go to church to a local or eatery. Perhaps an outing to a park or outdoor trail is where you and your friend would find a relaxed atmosphere to engage in a spiritual conversation, making it easier to share love of Christ, your faith and beliefs in a non-threatening way.

No matter the location or whatever the activity, actively listening to them and their beliefs, while honestly answering their questions, is vital. Of course, providing clear information about your beliefs and faith is also important. Our friends and neighbors must see us as we are -- faithful Christians who are also sinners, saved by the grace of God because of Christ.
As for Zion, we will continue to reach out to the community with ministries and events like Vacation Bible School, community days, children’s events, etc. Our Bridge Builders team is just getting started, and all members are invited to be a part of the outreach efforts to show care and love to our neighbors.
Pray: O Lord, You desire that all people be baptized and saved from eternal death. You do not desire the death of one lost sheep, but that sinners should turn from evil and live with You for eternity. We humbly ask You to remember in mercy and love the unbelievers in our land. Remember those who have never heard the Word, or do not understand the way of Salvation. Lead them to the knowledge of the truth of Jesus Christ. Grant that your Christian family may reach many and bring them to the sweet tidings of Your redeeming grace and love. Let the Spirit of Truth work through the Holy Scriptures to bring the forgiveness of sins to all the lost. We ask for Your heavenly protection, and we pray You to make powerful the Word we proclaim. Help us to gather the lost, bringing them into the fold of Your Christian family as brothers and sisters in Jesus Christ our Savior. For all this we praise You Lord, Your Son Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit now and forever. Amen
