From the NLS President

At some point, most of us who are active in Via de Cristo have been exposed to the “Essentials,” usually as a list of things that we must do as a part of this movement. And many of us are examining ways to adapt our current practices due to health issues or other societal changes over the years.

Save the Date for our NLS Annual Gathering at Texas Lutheran University (TLU) in Seguin, TX from July 21-24, 2022

Obviously all our Secretariats are tracking the latest health information and trying to make plans while adapting to changing conditions. But as we move forward into 2022, I encourage us all to remember that we serve a mighty God. He parted the Red Sea. He sustained His people for 40 years in the Wilderness. He walked on water, raised the dead, healed the lame and the blind. He conquered Death itself!

A critic observed: Once a man would spend a week patiently waiting if he missed a stagecoach, but now he rages if he misses the first section of a revolving door.

Are you still praying?  Has our Lord spoken to you about the four open positions on the NLS Executive Committee?

He is not here; he has risen!

Jesus said to her, ‘I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; and whoever lives by believing in me will never die. Do you believe this?”
