Pastoral Candidates & Vacancies
Currently the synod has only one vacancy (Lakewood, WA). We are anticipating a seminary graduating class of three candidates available this year; also, one candidate from last year’s class is still awaiting placement, and another candidate should be ready in the middle of the school year. Please keep these men in your prayers as they patiently await God’s timing in providing avenues for full-time service in his kingdom.

GJ - They have four more graduates than they need in the Little Sect on the Prairie. Pray that four pastors will die, join the LCMS, or raise an eyebrow in Pope John's direction when he speaks ex cathedra.
The ELS is so confessional that they have their own Emergent Church parish. They have such a surplus of doctrinal wisdom that they can afford to loan out Jay Webber to the Intrepids. They do a lot of planning, which is a poor substitute for trusting the Word of God.
They have already planned to fade away in the next 20 years. That is God's response to the Church Growth Movement, which they have never acknowledged, except to endorse every decrepitation from WELS.
