The Rev. Dr. Cory J. Rajek — Regional Director for Eurasia Region in Riga, Latvia, and the Rev. Charles Ferry — Regional Director for Asia Region, Chiayi, Taiwan, join Andy and Sarah for our Set Apart to Serve Series to talk about their very different journeys into pastoral ministry, how they each considered serving as a missionary, their journeys to the mission field, how missionaries serve in their respective regions, the challenges missionaries face today, and first steps for someone considering serving on the mission field.

Read Dr. Rajek's story and how to support his work at lcms.org/rajek. Read Rev. Ferry's story about how to support his work at lcms.org/ferry.

Christ’s church will continue until He returns, and that church will continue to need church workers.

Set Apart to Serve (SAS) is an initiative of the LCMS to recruit church workers. Together, we pray for workers for the Kingdom of God and encourage children to consider church work vocations.

Here are three easy ways you can participate in SAS:

1. Pray with your children for God to provide church workers.

2. Talk to your children about becoming church workers.

3. Thank God for the people who work in your congregation.
