Personal statement
Our Synod faces challenges, but God gives opportunities. Society changes and resources seem limited, but God still brings the mission field to our doorstep. We and our neighbors all need the truth of God's Word, both Law and Gospel. Although the Synod's congregations, schools, universities, seminaries, church plants, and missions are all on the front lines, the Board of Directors, working as stewards, helps facilitate and support these confessional ministries. Serving the Synod has been an honor. If reelected, it will be an honor to continue to use my God-given experience, energy, and skills in this service.
