Outreach Thought
Pentecost is the day the Holy Spirit visibly manifested His presence among the disciples, causing them to speak in the various languages of the people from around the world that were gathered in Jerusalem. The United States of America is a nation of many people and many languages for us to reach out to with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Ensuring them of a better life, hoped for by the immigrants that preceded them to our Christian nation
Life Quote
“We celebrate when a mother has second thoughts concerning abortion and keeps her baby. We sing ‘Alleluia’ when an orphaned child once abandoned is adopted and lives in a home filled with the presence of Christ’s love reflected through a mother and father.” Chaplain (Lt. Colonel) Steven Hokana, Assistant Director of Ministry to the Armed Forces (MAF) (LCMS) – www.lutheransforlife.or
