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.
