Mentoring with Joy

"The joy of the Lord is your strength." – Nehemiah 8:10

Today, we’re grateful to share a joyful moment with our friends, missionary Gustavo Ruben and Pastor Tim Gerdis at Victory Lutheran Church in Chula Vista. Laughter filled the room as we talked about the journey of mentoring Gustavo.

This experience highlights how much richer our work becomes when we collaborate and support one another in our missions. We are truly thankful for God’s mercy and blessings in our lives. Witnessing Gustavo's spiritual, theological, and leadership growth has been a wonderful blessing.

As we look ahead, we are excited about the impact Gustavo will have in his ministry, and we are confident that his passion and dedication will bring many to Christ.

The Lutheran Mission Society San Diego is honored to come alongside pastors and churches in San Diego and Tijuana to develop and support leaders who are making a difference.
