Karen Swift’s Summer at Concordia Seminary: Deepening Faith and Expanding Knowledge

This summer, our dedicated missionary Karen Swift had the enriching experience of spending time at Concordia Seminary in St. Louis, where she is actively engaged in the deaconess program. This period was an invaluable opportunity for Karen to deepen her theological understanding and further her studies. During her time at the seminary, Karen was able to immerse herself in advanced coursework and engage in meaningful dialogue with professors and fellow students. This interaction not only broadened her academic knowledge but also strengthened her connections within the seminary community. Karen's time at Concordia Seminary is a significant step in her journey, equipping her with enhanced skills and insights that will undoubtedly benefit her ongoing mission work. We are excited to see how these new experiences will enrich her ministry and support her continued service.
