Update…
MISSION: Southern Africa
Three short years ago, June 2006, the Rocky Mountain District,
LCMS, in convention, approved a resolution seeking to raise $500,000 for
the Lutheran Theological Seminary, Tshwane (Pretoria), South Africa; a
human care project in Botswana; and a cattle treatment project in southern
South Africa.
Thank the Good Lord for your generosity and support of the
projects.
What have the dollars raised been used for so far? First, the Lu-
theran Theological Seminary has been able to purchase two houses to be
used for student housing and classrooms. With our final payment, a three
story building will be started which will be used for classroom and library
space with some of the space to be used for the housing of visiting faculty
members. In addition, a sizable debt was paid off in full on behalf of the
seminary. More Pastors are now available for the congregations of the
countries in southern Africa.

Know your Leadership
Jane Pennington, Education Co-Chair
About four years ago, a great uncle from New Mexico was com-
menting how their pastor had taken a call to a church in our area
and suggested we look him up. We found Pastor Patrick at a
church we hadn’t attended before, and have since come to call
Peace With Christ home.

TREASURY OF DAILY PRAYER
Bo Giertz
“I just want you to know from the beginning, sir, that I
am a believer,” [the young Pastor Fridfeldt] said [to the
older pastor]…
“So you are a believer, I’m glad to hear that. What do
you believe in?”
Fridfeldt stared dumbfounded at his superior…
“But, sir, I am simply saying that I am a believer.”
“Yes, I hear that, by boy. But what is it that you believe
in?”
Fridfeldt was almost speechless.
“But don’t you know, sir, what it means to be a be-
liever?”
“That is a word which can stand for things that differ
greatly, my boy. I ask only what it is that you believe in.”
“In Jesus, of course,” answered Fridfeldt, raising his
voice. “I mean - I mean that I have given him my
heart.”…
“Do you consider that something to give him?”
By this time, Fridfeldt was almost in tears.
“But sir, if you do not give your heart to Jesus, you can-
not be saved.”
“You are right, my boy. And it is just as true that, if you
think you are saved because you give Jesus your heart,
you will not be saved. You see, my boy,” he continued
reassuringly, as he continued to look at the young pas-

as critical to your financial health—which may be equally
important.
