Pray for God's Guidance of LSI

Thank you so much for your prayers.
God's direction is essential to everything we do.

Some suggested prayer items:
1. Thank God for guiding LSI to this day and for our recent ministry growth.
2. Thank God for blessing LSI with leaders who not only study science, but more importantly study Scripture.
3. Request God’s direction as we evaluate current programs and plan new ones.
4. Pray for additional volunteers to carry out a growing list of ministry tasks.
5. Ask our Lord to bless LSI with more authors to write classroom apologetics units and LSI Journal articles.
6. Pray for those who are enticed by evolution’s claim that there is no god.

Dear Supporters, April, 2021

Thank you so much for participating in this apologetic ministry. With your prayers and financial support, and by telling others about this ministry, you are producing and distributing Confessional Lutheran creation apologetic materials. This is an exciting time of growth. You are getting creation apologetic materials into the hands of more pastors, teachers, students, and laity than ever before.

Last summer, an expanded 48-page LSI Lesson Book, Evolution—a Lutheran Response, was mailed to every WELS and ELS congregation, and to hundreds of science and religion teachers at our high schools and colleges. The print LSI Journal mailing list was increased from 450 to over 1,000, primarily by adding 400 science and religion teachers at our high schools and colleges. Also, last fall LSI mailed a set of three print journals to 118 people who who requested them.

LSI has partnered with WELS Multi-Language Productions (MLP) to produce ten creation apologetic videos in English and Spanish (based on the LSI Lesson Book) for distribution by LSI and by WELS mission groups TELL and Academia Cristo. LSI will heavily advertise these videos for use in adult Bible study and in grade 5 through college. High school science and religion teachers who have previewed drafts of the first six videos are very impressed with their quality and content. These videos should be available for free download from LSI within a few months.

Thank you for supporting this expanding apologetic ministry. Your generosity makes it possible.

Mark Bergemann
President, Lutheran Science Institute (LSI)
