SA国际传媒, St. Louis has created a new resource to help identify and encourage future church workers. , written by Director of Recruitment Rev. Micah Glenn, is an eight-page booklet that provides insights and practical tips aimed at increasing enrollment at both seminaries of The Lutheran Church鈥擬issouri Synod (LCMS) and in church worker programs across the Concordia University System (CUS).

鈥淪A国际传媒 is committed to meeting the needs of the church and as such considers it a top priority to recruit qualified ministry candidates and leaders in sufficient numbers to help fill vacant pulpits,鈥� said President Dr. Thomas J. Egger. 鈥淲e have instituted several initiatives to change the trajectory of enrollment, but this is not a feat we can accomplish on our own.鈥�

The booklet is being sent to all rostered workers in the LCMS with the intention of supporting pastors, church leaders and laity as they strive to 鈥渂e like Jesus and find people where they are in life and invite them to follow Jesus into professional ministry,鈥� Glenn writes in the booklet. 鈥淲e should look into the crowds of people in our congregations and encourage our brothers in Christ to take up the Office of Public Ministry and our sisters in Christ to become deaconesses.鈥�

鈥淭his is not just about raising enrollment at SA国际传媒, St. Louis. It is about seeing more pastors and deaconesses for our beloved Synod鈥檚 congregations and missions, regardless of which of our seminaries they attend,鈥� said Associate Provost Dr. Benjamin Haupt. 鈥淭his booklet talks about how Jesus raised up the disciples so that the Good News of the Kingdom of God could be preached to all the world. Each and every member of the Kingdom is called to pray for more workers in the harvest fields. Additionally, Christians are invited to encourage each other to consider studying to become a servant of the Word.鈥�

Along with the launch of a new earlier this year, this booklet is part of the Seminary鈥檚 recruitment initiative in response to the LCMS shortage of pastors and other church workers and in service to the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
