Dear Prayer Warriors

From Global Lutheran Outreach missionaries Tim and Beth Heiney (Serving the Lord in Guinea):

I can’t tell you how encouraging it is to get your nice letters of support and assurances of prayer. Tim and I both appreciate those so much. Instant communication is still something I can’t take for granted. We had so many years where letters went back and forth through the mail taking sometimes weeks to get to us. By the time we sent out news, it was just that.. .news — of what had already happened and was finished. But we always trusted that God was raising people up to pray from afar, calling them sometimes in the night, bringing us to mind at all hours when the need was there. He’s still doing that, for He knows best where and when the prayers are needed. Thank you, Holy Spirit! !

After steadily meeting with 4 groups, there was a sudden death in one group and students in another group graduated and left the area before finishing their study. Theres a men, probably one of the most resilient students we’ve seen so far, however, always with a positive outlook. As he’s getting ready to finish generation 1, the first study, he already has 4 men picked out to start their own studies. He himself would like to start another group which would make 5, and he’s also interested in getting a women’s group started. Please keep all these possibilities in prayer!

SHAKEN AND STIRRED

From Global Lutheran Outreach missionaries James and Liisa Tino (Serving the Lord globally):

Thanks you for praying! Global Lutheran Outreach was invited to present a mission conference to stir the church in Argentina to become a missionary-sending church.
The conference – titled “The Great Commission Convocation” – was a huge success! In June, a capacity crowd of over 200 Lutherans gathered to hear and participate in presentations by Jim, Liisa, Rev. Antonio Schimpff (professor at the Lutheran Seminary in Buenos Aires) and GLO board member, Wondimu Game.

Following the mission conference, the GLO board had its yearly in-person meeting in Buenos Aires. Since some of the board had travelled from Uruguay, Guatemala and Nigeria, it was a convenient opportunity.

Women in Mission!

Also in June, around 4000 Lutherans (mainly women!) gathered in Milwaukee for the 40th LWML Biennial Convention…GLO was present as an exhibitor! What an awesome experience to meet so many women with true hearts for mission and to worship and celebrate the Lord of the Nations together.
Our booth highlighted two opportunities. First, we are actively recruiting people who are called to be missionary teachers. GLO has received six requests for native-English speaking teachers! We pray that some will seriously consider answering God’s call and say “Here am I. Send me!” If you know of someone who might be interested in becoming a missionary teacher, please email Jim directly: director@globallutheranoutreach.com.

1200 Students!

In August, Jim travelled to Montevideo, Uruguay to participate in the “mission Foro”, a gathering of mission partners who support the ministries of the Lutheran Church in Uruguay. GLO has been a mission partner there for many years. Though it is a very small church body with only one congregation and 4 missions, they are making a BIG IMPACT in this secular nation through San Pablo school. With over 1200 students, San Pablo is one of the largest Lutheran schools in the world! Guess what they requested of GLO? TEACHERS! Since San Pablo offers bi-lingual education, they need certified English-speaking teachers to teach a number of subjects, including Physics, Computers, and others.
