CONSIDERING SEMINARY

A few months back, My wife and I applied to be career missionaries with LCMS World Missions. I thought it might be a great way to get out and practice my faith as I have received it from the Holy Spirit. Matt. 28:19 tells us to go into the world and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. This also would be a chance for me to determine if going to the seminary was where God was eventually leading me.

The last few weeks have made me consider that I should maybe go to seminary earlier than planned. I sent an email on Tuesday and by Thursday I had received my package of Seminary information and the application to the school. My wife says that she is behind me and that I should go for this. My biggest concern has been finances and housing. But those are things I need to give to the Lord to take care of and just go forward.

I ask for your prayers as I go forward. Petition the Lord as to his will for my life and that the direction he is pointing me to is one that I will be able to handle.

Peace in Christ
