year, please consider contributing this year. So many wonderful things are happening and we must keep it going. On August 8th we had an Ambassador Training at Salina. Thanks to all that attended. Polly Gregali from St. Louis, led the very informative workshop. We are working to have an Ambassa-dor (or two) in each congregation. If your congregation does not have an Ambassador, please consider filling this important posi-tion. Our District Convention is on November 7th and 8th at St. John’s in Topeka. Pastor Mark Frith will be our International LLL Repre-sentative and Banquet Speaker. Please mark this on your calendars and plan on joining us. We need individuals that are willing to become leaders in the Kansas LLL/LHM. Those of us that attend the board of governor’s meetings are advancing in years and the Lord has called some of our regulars home to be with Him in heaven. (I am the youngest and my hair is all gray.) You can do this! Ephesians 3:20-21 says: “Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all genera-tions, for ever and ever! Amen.” God has so much He wants to do through you. You can do more than you ever imagined. Please say yes if you are asked to be on the ballot for a position. Please con-tact me if you are interested and no one contacts you. (tvoelker@usd223.org) People, we need to keep this going. God is doing so many great things through Kansas LLL and Lutheran Hour Ministries. Be a sponsor. Be a leader. God is right beside you, step out in faith and see what he can do through you. God’s Blessings, Tim Voelker, President, Kansas LLL/Lutheran Hour Ministries

President’s Message Tim Voelker Dear Friends in Christ, Praise the Lord! He has truly blessed the Kan-sas LLL and Lutheran Hour Ministries. There are great things happening in Kansas and throughout the world. Thank you for being a partner in this wonderful endeavor. Thanks to all of you that have helped the Kansas LLL/Lutheran Hour Min-istries reach our project goal last year and we hope you are excited about achieving this feat again this year. By the grace of God we were able to assist in hosting a recognition banquet for seminary stu-dents that were about to receive their first call. We let them know about all the resources LHM provides and encouraged them to partner with LHM in spreading the Gospel as they begin their ministry as Pastors. We were also able to provide financial assistance for the LHM float in the Rose Parade. Financial assistance was also given to the Argentina Ministry Center. They are our Dis-trict’s designated mission country. We also gave money for Overseas Correspondence Courses. These allow people receive the Word of God in places where it may not be easily accessible. We were able to provide $28,500 of financial aid to students that are preparing for full time Church Work. We pray that the Lord will touch many individuals through these students for many years to come. Yes, the Lord has truly blessed the Kan-sas LLL/LHM. Through your many fund raisers and individual gifts, we are making a difference in the world. Again, thank you to all the groups and individuals who helped support the District Pro-ject. If you or your group did not contribute last
