2023 May — 177 Years of Forming Faithful Servants

Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations…”
Matthew 28:18-19a

Each year, CTSFW sends new graduates into the mission field—to national and international locations, to large and small congregations, to young and old, to the newly converted and to lifelong Christians.

Our 2023 CTSFW graduates include:

• Thirty call candidates who will serve in 38 congregations throughout the United States.
• Six new deaconesses who will serve in positions of mercy and care.
• Two graduates who will serve in the Africa Region of the LCMS Office of International Mission.

These new workers are well-equipped for their new vocations, thanks to the generous gifts of many supporters, all of whom share in the mission of ensuring that the Good News of Jesus’ death and resurrection is proclaimed throughout the world.

We appreciate your continued support and ask that, in addition to your financial gifts, you would pray for CTSFW and for the fruitful service of our graduates.

May God bless you as we wait for Jesus Christ to return in glory!

Sincerely,
Give to CTSFW

“Once you know what God has going on around the world, it’s hard to keep your blinders on. To see the need, to know the need, deep down, you realize that God can use you to answer that need to spread the true, pure Gospel.”
Bryan & Keah Payne, 2023 CTSFW Graduates
