Nurturing Faith in Christ … By God’s grace we give each woman opportunities to be in the Word and to use her unique gifts in God’s service.

Making Our Faith Meaningful … We equip each woman to make a significant difference in the lives of all people.

Sharing Encouragement … We value each other in Christ and we accept and encourage each woman to grow in her relationship with others.

Ask yourself …

• What am I doing to nurture my faith in Christ my Savior?

• Am I sharing with other women the opportunities they have to be in the Word, encouraging them to use their unique gifts to be in God’s service?

• Do I equip women to make a significant difference in the lives of all people?

• Do I value each woman in Christ so much that I encourage her to grow in her relationship with others?

You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others (Matthew 5:14–16a).

“With the Lord begin your task; Jesus will direct it. For His aid and counsel ask; Jesus will perfect it.” (LSB 869:1a) These words begin one of many favorite hymns. Words to remember for all we do in service to our Lord.

Lutheran Women in Mission, in a little over a month and a half, will convene in Mobile, Alabama, for the LWML 38^th Biennial Convention. All the many hours of planning and preparation these past two years will come to fruition as women and men gather to give thanks to God for His amazing grace.

The two men in dazzling apparel ask the women: “Why do you seek the living among the dead? He is not here, but has risen." (Luke 24:5b-6a)  At that point, everything began to change for these women. They were the first to see an empty tomb and the first to receive a message of resurrection concerning Jesus, their Lord. In remembering Jesus' words they left the tomb and told the apostles what had happened.

What a day for these women. The magnitude of that morning will not be lost on them as they learn to live in His peace. Forgiveness of sins, defeat of the devil and the grave, and the promises of everlasting life would mark their praise and thanksgiving for ever more.

This summer in Mobile, Alabama, as Lutheran Women in Mission, we too will have an opportunity to praise and thank our God for all of these blessings. This will be a time for everyone to sing and rejoice In Praise to the LORD, to tell of His salvation for all, to declare His glory among the nations, and to go forth in His joy! Like those women on that first Resurrection Sunday we too will remember the words of Jesus and tell them to all the world. May God make our Convention a memorable one in the Lord.

Christ is Risen! He is Risen Indeed! Alleluia!

Who would think to make a crown of thorns to put on someone’s head? That is just plain cruel. Yet, the guards who watched over Jesus, those who taunted Him, made fun of Him and mocked Him did just that. They wove together a crown made of thorns. Then, in an act of complete mockery, they placed the crown upon His head.

Placed it on His head. I doubt if it was that easy. I have a crown of thorns that was given to me many years ago. Every year during Holy Week, I will take that crown out. I hold it in my hands and imagine what it must have been like to have that placed on Jesus’ head. I will gingerly place it on my head, careful to not let the thorns pierce my skin. Then I think about how they must have jammed that crown upon His head. The agony, the pain, the blood, the tears, the laughter, yes, laughter as they watched this “King of the Jews” cringe under the pain of that crown.

He wore that crown so that you and I can wear another crown. In Revelation 2:10, we hear Jesus say, “Be faithful unto death, and I will give you the crown of life.” Through faith in Jesus Christ, you and I are given a crown to wear. It is not a crown of thorns to cause us to suffer but it is a crown of life, glorious life eternal, a crown of one who is given eternal life. We wear this crown while He wears the crown of thorns. It doesn’t seem right.

He does that to take our place. He suffered in our stead. He bore the pain of our sins and gives to us the joys of eternal life. A crown of thorns worn by the Son of God, so that the sinner, you and me, might be given the crown of life. Thank You Jesus for loving me so much, that You have taken all my punishment and have given me Your righteousness.

 May the Lord grant you a blessed Good Friday,

I'm already getting a little excited for our Mobile, Alabama, Convention. To be engaged in the ceremonies that lead us In Praise to the LORD and to enjoy the fellowship of everyone who comes for this gathering, will be a highlight for me in 2019. I can envision the crowds gathering together, singing their praises, and proclaiming their heartfelt thanks to God for His blessings to them in Christ Jesus, our Savior.

As we begin Holy Week with this Sunday of the Palms I am reminded of another gathering of praise. As Jesus began to enter into Jerusalem the crowds went out to meet Him. With branches from Palm trees they hailed Jesus: “Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord, even the King of Israel!” (John 12) The people longed for God to bless them and to encourage them in their life of faith. Their joy that day was seen In Praise to the LORD.

Check out the plans that are being developed for our gathering this summer and get ready for a time of praise and celebration. To God be all the glory.

It’s my extreme delight to announce that the 2017-2019 Mission Goal of LWML—Lutheran Women in Mission has been fully funded! Thanks be to God for His generosity and the generous offerings from men and women all over the United States as they faithfully filled their mission Mite Boxes and gave offerings towards this goal. Twenty-two ministries have received complete grants. To read about those grants click here.

Going forward into our new biennium, delegates will meet in Mobile, Alabama, at the 2019 LWML Convention, June 20-23 to vote on a new Mission Goal and select new grant recipients from a list of 31. What an exciting time in LWML! Register now to take part in that convention.

It’s easy to say, let’s not increase our goal and make it not such a push to get the goal funded. However, now more than ever, our families, our church, and our world are in greater need of the saving Gospel message than ever before. We, as Lutheran Women in Mission can and will meet the challenge to make sure that God’s Word, by the power of the Holy Spirit, gets shared around the world. Whether that is done by us as individuals, by LWML programming and resources, or by the ministries we support through our grants, we will do it! We are up to the next challenge!

Please join me in the following prayer written by our LWML Counselor, Rev. Robert Mundahl.

Dear gracious heavenly Father, we thank you for your great love to us through your Son, Jesus Christ, our Savior. Through Him we have forgiveness of sins, life and salvation. As Lutheran Women in Mission our goal is to make this truth known all over the world. By the collection of Mite Box offerings over the past two years you have blessed us to raise the funds necessary to meet our Mission Goal of $2,075,000. Praise God! This has allowed us to supply the resources needed for missions and missionaries selected at the 2017 Albuquerque Convention.

As the Psalmist writes: Enter His gates with thanksgiving, and His courts with praise! Give thanks to Him; bless His name! For the Lord is good; His steadfast love endures forever, and His faithfulness to all generations, may we always remember God's faithfulness to us and every generation and in great joy, bless His name forever and ever.  Amen.
