SUMMARY:FORO — Dominican Republic
DESCRIPTION:LCMS International Mission will host a FORO about mission work in the Dominican Republic on Sept. 3-5\, 2027. \n\n\n\nWhat is a FORO?\n\n\n\nA FORO — Spanish for “forum” — fosters relationships between missionaries serving on behalf of The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod (LCMS) and mission partners. The meetings facilitate networking\, start conversations\, and focus resources to make disciples of all nations for generations to come. \n\n\n\nWhen do FOROs occur?\n\n\n\nOnce or twice a year\, LCMS missionaries meet with partners — people from churches\, organizations\, schools\, and partner churches — in their mission field. They discuss strategies to make disciples\, address community needs\, emphasize mutual listening\, and encourage shared decision-making. \n\n\n\nWhy are FOROs needed?\n\n\n\nMissionaries don’t only need funding and volunteers. Missionaries need relationships. They need support networks. They need people to walk with them\, pray with them\, listen to them\, learn from them\, and stand with them. FOROs help provide those relationships. \n\n\n\nTo learn more about FOROs\, visit international.lcms.org/foro. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nContact\n\n\n\nDana Stigdon\, LCMS Missionary \n\n\n\ndana.stigdon@lcms.org

SUMMARY:The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod's Birthday
DESCRIPTION:The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod celebrates its birthday on April 26. Initial members\, which included 12 pastors representing 14 congregations from Illinois\, Indiana\, Missouri\, Michigan\, New York and Ohio\, signed the church body’s constitution on April 26\, 1847\, at First Saint Paul Lutheran Church in Chicago\, Ill. \nOriginally named The German Evangelical Lutheran Synod of Missouri\, Ohio and Other States\, the name was shortened to The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod in 1947 on the occasion of our 100th anniversary. \nThe roots of the LCMS run deep\, tracing back to Saxon and other German immigrants establishing a new church body in America\, seeking the freedom to practice and follow confessional Lutheranism. \n\nOnly Jesus: No Other Name\n \nResources to help celebrate the 175th anniversary of The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod. \nView resources
