Dr. John Loum, the Seminary鈥檚 director of the Ethnic Immigrant Institute of Theology, recently returned to the United States after having spent several months as a missionary in The Gambia, his home country. He will return to The Gambia in October.
Loum鈥檚 part-time mission work is a partnership between SA国际传媒 and The Lutheran Church鈥擬issouri Synod (LCMS).
While in The Gambia, Loum largely focused on teaching Lutheran doctrine to an established group of Christians. Along with teaching and catechizing the pastor and lay leaders of the church, he also taught at the Lutheran school in the village of Abuko. Many of the people he served are Muslims who have been treated by LCMS mercy medical teams. He is translating several Lutheran publications, including Luther鈥檚 Small Catechism.
