READ: Luke 10:1-24
PRAY: Think of all the people in your life who have proclaimed the Gospel to you. Pray a prayer of thanksgiving for them. Pray for all those you can think of who are still at work proclaiming the Gospel to others. Pray that God would use you for this purpose too.
DO: Learn more about missionaries. Go to the ELCA website and search for “missionaries” or reference the ELCA magazine provided in your stewardship materials. What are some of the ways missionaries today are being “sent out” and “proclaiming the Gospel”?
