The Congo Mission

Posted September 30, 2020 By admin

It has been a while since I provided an update on the mission work in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Of course, the world wide COVID-19 pandemic has touched many lives in the Congo, just as it has around the world. In a place where medicine and medical services are much more difficult to receive, you can imagine the impact such viruses can have on a community. Pastor Stephane Kalonji and I remain dedicated to the ministry to which God has called us, and we are committed to leading Congo Mission International in order to support our sisters and brothers in Christ. Please be in prayer for our mission and especially for those to whom we minister. God’s love knows no borders. Sharing God’s love with those even so far away is a joy and a privilege. I thank God for this opportunity and also for your support.

On Thursday, August 6, 2020, the Carolinas Mission District of the NALC met for its final convocation. As it was decided during the 2019 convocation, the Carolinas Mission District has become the NALC Carolinas Mission Region, made up of four smaller mission districts. Our SCMD dean is Pastor David Tholstrup from St. Peter’s Lutheran Church in Chapin. Pastor David Nuottila and Larry Shull have been elected as members of the Mission Region Executive Council. We give thanks to God for the growth and mission of His church in the Carolinas.

South Carolina Mission District Meeting

Posted October 31, 2019 By admin

As reported earlier this year, our Carolinas Mission District will divide into four smaller mission districts forming the Carolinas Mission Region. One of these will be the South Carolina Mission District. On November 19th, the NALC congregations in South Carolina will meet at St. Peters Lutheran Church in Chapin. All NALC clergy in South Carolina, and delegates from each congregation will vote to elect a Dean. St. Jacob’s will have one delegate. Visitors to the meeting are encouraged to attend. A light meal will be served prior to the meeting at 6:30 PM. Please call the St. Jacob’s church office if you plan to attend.
