Reverend Robert Rahn of Lutheran Heritage Foundation is seeking support for a Lutheran seminary in Sudan. He explains... The Lutheran Heritage Foundation, sponsor of the Concordia Lutheran Institute for the Holy Ministry(CLIHM), Yambio, South Sudan, is looking for help to cover travel expenses for volunteer pastors who serve on the seminary faculty from Finland, Kenya and Tanzania . They do not have a way to generate support for their travel as do pastors here in the U.S. Our first volunteer going over is Rev. Art Bolstad and he will be there for three weeks. He personally is covering most of his own expenses. The second need is for help to cover the monthly stipend of the 20 students who will be in the seminary program. This is to help sustain their families while they are attending the seminary. We provide them with a modest $75 per month and it amounts to $750 for ten months for each student and for the 20 students that means $15,000 for each year. We try to fund this outside of the regular budget of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Sudan/South Sudan for which we provided $100,000 in 2011. CLIHM is hosting its third group of students who will be in training for the next four years. Anyone interested in serving as a faculty member can e mail Rev. Rahn, LHF Founder, at rrahn@lhfmissions.org for more information. Click here to donate
Pastor Kevin Hahn of Good Shepherd, Frankfort Seeks Housing for Single Mom With Three Children
Pastor Hahn contacted LCC asking help for a single mom from his community. He writes... A young mom and 3 children (a 13-year-old and twin 8-year-olds) lost their apartment because the owner filed bankruptcy and didn't tell anyone. They were living in Matteson and the children are going to school in Matteson. They're currently paying a lot of money to stay in a hotel. The mom works nights and goes to school. They are also paying rent to store their belongings. She is asking for help in finding an affordable apartment in the south suburbs. She would also like to work days instead of nights, so she is interested in a job such as secretary. Any help or suggestions you may have for the family, is greatly appreciated. Please feel free to email me or call the church office at 815-469-2549. Click here to help this family with a donation
