SUMMARY:FORO — Honduras
DESCRIPTION:LCMS International Mission will host a FORO about mission work in Honduras on Sept. 17-19\, 2027.\nWhat is a FORO?\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.\nWhen do FOROs occur?\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.\nWhy are FOROs needed?\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\nTo learn more about FOROs\, visit international.lcms.org/foro.\n\n\n\nContact\nRev. Herb Burch\, LCMS Missionary\n\nherb.burch@lcms.org
