Michigan District-LCMS
Dave,
Warmest greetings to you and Pat in our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Your message to LCMS President Matt Harrison and the Synod were kind, gracious, and supportive. May the Lord God continue to bless you and our beloved Synod (OBS) as we faithfully proclaim the crucified, risen, living, ascended and returning Lord Jesus and seek by the Holy Spirit’s power to extend His Kingdom of Grace.
Rev. Dr. Rodney D. Otto, emeritus - July 6, 2019
Trust, Transparency & Collaboration are so important. Thanks Dave for your effort in bringing balance to the synod as a powerful force in the world wide, diverse, creative 2.3 billion saints or more around the world in this 21st century. We shall continue to uphold all our leaders in prayer that LCMS can continue to adjust to the cultural shift that is “church-shaking” in this present age. Keep on keeping on.
