SUMMARY:Prof Insights: Faculty-Led Workshop: Professor Prieto in Ft. Lauderdale\, FL
DESCRIPTION:Reaching Out to Our Neighbors with the Gospel of Hope: Engaging and Learning from Our Global South Partners\nChrist commissioned His apostles to be His witnesses “to the ends of the earth\,” calling them to make disciples of all nations by baptizing and teaching (Acts 1:8; Matt. 28:19–20). For centuries\, going abroad has been a central mission endeavor of the Christian church — and The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod (LCMS) continues to faithfully participate in that global mission. However\, shifting immigration patterns have opened new doors for outreach. The U.S. itself has become a mission field\, as many immigrants arrive not only to receive the Gospel\, but also to proclaim it. These brothers and sisters from the Global South bring with them vibrant faith and a passion for sharing Christ. How\, then\, can our LCMS congregations engage in meaningful outreach alongside these mission-minded partners — reaching into the diverse neighborhoods of our own nation with the love and truth of Jesus? \n\n\n\n\nDr. Ely Prieto\nAssociate Professor of Practical Theology\, Associate Dean of Urban and Cross-Cultural Ministry\, Director of the Center for Hispanic Studies\, and Lutheran Foundation Professor of Urban and Cross-Cultural Ministry\nDr. Ely Prieto is associate professor of Practical Theology\, the Lutheran Foundation Professor of Urban and Cross-Cultural Ministry\, associate dean for Urban and Cross-Cultural Ministry\, and director of the Center for Hispanic Studies at Concordia\, Seminary\, St. Louis. A faculty member since 2021\, Dr. Prieto has an extensive academic background teaching in the areas of homilitics\, pastoral theology\, church planning and administration. He was one of the editors of “O Povo de Deus (A Festschrift in Honor of Rev. Dr. Acir Raymann)” and has contributed chapters for a variety of published books\, articles\, book reviews\, homiletical and sermonic studies and sermons. \n\n\n	\n\n\n\n\nSchedule\n\n\nDAY\nTIME\n\n\nMonday\, Nov. 9\n1-4 p.m.\n\n\nTuesday\, Nov. 10\n9 a.m.-4 p.m.\n\n\nWednesday\, Nov. 11\n9 a.m.-noon\n\n\n\n\n	Registration fee: $160\n	Registration deadline: Oct. 26\, 2026\n	Location contact: Pastor Jeff Wilhelm\n	 \n	Register\n	More Workshops\n\n\nNote: The schedule is subject to change at the discretion of the workshop presenters. \n\n

SUMMARY:Lay Bible Institute
DESCRIPTION:The Book of Esther—Hated\, Loved\, Ignored\, Celebrated\, and More\nLuther said he hated it. The Church barely uses it. Individuals seem to love it. It’s raucously read aloud in the synagogue each year at Purim. God’s name is never mentioned\, and the characters don’t seem very pious. The Greek version has 107 more verses than the Hebrew version that is translated in our English bibles. What gives? Come explore all of this and more.\n \nRegister Learn more\n
