Prayers
Pray for the Jensens as they serve in Germany. Pray that God would bring the U.S. forces stationed around the world to His holy Word and Sacraments. Pray also for the return of the German people to the Gospel of Jesus Christ and for the successful proclamation of that Gospel to the non-Christian peoples of Europe. Ask the Lord to be with the seminary students in Europe, that they might learn to teach the faithful, reach the lost and care for all, ever holding fast to the Holy Scriptures and the Lutheran Confessions.
