Master
Builder Bibles for Interns
 |
For the past 7 years,
Lutheran Men in Mission has been encouraging men to
study the Bible by offering the Master Builder Study
Bible to men who want to begin or enhance a small
group Bible experience. LMM has provided almost
10,000 of these Bibles free to congregations across
the US to start such a ministry. To date a total of
45,000 Bibles have been distributed.
LMM wants to expand
this effort by giving a Master Builder Bible to each
seminary student who is beginning their internship.
We also would like to |
give them a copy of
Pat Morley’s book, Pastoring Men, which we
believe is an excellent resource as they begin their
ministerial life.
To make this happen,
we need your help. There are approximately 250
seminary students who will shortly begin an
internship. We are looking for individuals and
congregations willing to donate $25 (the cost of one
Bible and book) to make this happen. We plan to have
a member of the LMM Board personally present the
Bible and book to interns at each of the seminaries
in April or May.
If you want to help
make this happen, please send a check in the amount
of $25 per intern that you want to support to:
North Carolina
Lutheran Men in Mission , 1988 Lutheran Synod
Drive, Salisbury, N. C.,,28144. and please be sure
to put “Seminarian Bibles” in the memo line:
North Carolina
Lutheran Men in Mission and the South Carolina
Lutheran Men in Mission have decided to expand this
program to include the graduating seniors in the
distribution program for the next two years so as to
include all graduates from this date forward. We
have a total of 51 interns and graduating seniors
who will be presented with these MBB and the book,
Pastoring Men, this year at a gathering at LTSS in
mid-April. All contributions that we receive over
and above the cost of this year's distribution will
be held in a restricted reserve fund to purchase
supplies of the bibles and the books for
distribution in future years.
Our own Bishop Bolick
has expressed his support for this program and has
stated that it is an excellent ministry to our
future pastors.
Thank you for helping
to share the Word.
