Grant #6, POBLO Paid!

Tue, Oct 19, 2021 12:00 AM


The 6th Grant of this biennium, thanks to God's blessings and people like you who give mites, was paid in early October. It will be used by People of the Book Lutheran Outreach (POBLO) to work with two congregations in the Milwaukee area. It is their intent to open International Friendship Centers, after training and preparation, to reach their Muslim Sikh, Hindu and Buddhist neighbors. And, the Lord willing, to engage a female missionary to reach into the same communities.  All that is lacking to move forward is the funds and investment of volunteers and the good people of the Milwaukee area to establish and sustain these centers. Friendship Centers have proven to be an effective tool because "immigrants and refugees respond positively to American Christians who demonstrate to them kindness, love, care, and gentleness of Christ, all of which opens the door to share the Gospel", (Quote from the resolution passed at convention in 2020.) As with all endeavors to reach the lost, please pray fervently for God to use this particular avenue of outreach to expand His Kingdom. Then, pray for the next grant recipient, Introducing Muslims to the Savior, through the work of Lutheran Heritage Foundation
