A tribute to Venezuelan women

Venezuelan women and deaconess program

Despite unreliable high-speed internet access, periodic power outages, and difficulties finding transportation to in-person classes, 35 women from Venezuela completed their deaconess formation program between 2017 and 2024. Currently, 23 Venezuelan women are enrolled, both numbers higher than those of any other participating country.

This accomplishment was reported by Concordia El Reformador Seminary in the Dominican Republic.

Theodore Krey, regional director for the Lutheran Church – Missouri Synod mission in Latin America and the Caribbean, highlighted this achievement.

Luz María Ernst, from Epiphany Lutheran Mission in La Caramuca, continues to mentor these women.
