We desire to network and form meaningful relationships with all cultures and expand our interaction with LCMS leaders and entities. \nThe Multi Asian Gathering committee is offering a limited number of grants to partially offset the registration fees and/or campus housing costs for the Multiethnic Symposium and the Multi Asian Gathering. College students\, pre-seminary students\, Concordia University church work students and emeritus LCMS pastors are encouraged to apply. The grants will be distributed after the event. For more information or to apply\, please contact Dr. Terry Chan. \n\n\n\n\n\nRegistration\nThose interested in participating in the Multi Asian Gathering must register for the Multiethnic Symposium. \n\n\n\n\nRegister Multiethnic Symposium \n\nSchedule\nWednesday May 7\, 2025\n\n\n\nTIME\nEVENT\n\n\n2-2:30 pm\nWelcome and Opening Presentations:\n– Multi Asian Gathering\, Past\, Present and Future – Dr. Terrence Chan\, Pastor\, Christ for All Nations Church\, San Francisco\, Calif.\n– Opening Devotion – Rev.
