Fellowship and a Graduation


Last week the annual Mexico-Mequon workshop was held in Puebla. This event brings together students from the Wisconsin Lutheran Seminary in Mequon, Wisconsin and seminary students and pastors here in Mexico. This year, Pastor Tim Flunker traveled down to give a workshop on the visible church in action. The pastors and students here are still talking about his informative and inspiring sessions.

As the workshop came to a close, a special service was held to celebrate the graduation of Carlos Rosales. Mike was thrilled to hand him his diploma and welcome him as a fellow pastor. As the graduation serivce carried out, Mike had flashbacks of the past five years he has worked with Carlos to make this moment happen. It was a long journey, but so so worth it.


With this graduation, the Mexican Lutheran church body now has 7 pastors. What a terrific blessing!

Join us in giving thanks for these wonderful events of last week.

God's blessings to all the Mexican pastors, especially newly graduated Pastor Rosales. How exciting to add another called worker for Christ! Jesus be with you all in all that you do in His name. May the Spirit keep you faithful to your calling as a shepherd of God's flock.
