PUBLISHED BY THE MISSOURI DISTRICT OF THE LUTHERAN CHURCH—MISSOURI SYNOD
October 6, 2017

A St. Louis Missionary
Taken from the September 2017 CFNA E-News and
written by Rev. Allan Buckman, with Rev. Teddy Workeneh

Rev. Theodors (Teddy) Workeneh, together with his wife and family, arrived St. Louis on July 28, 2014 from Ethiopia to enroll as a graduate student at Concordia Seminary. The following month he began part time service with Christian Friends of New Americans (CFNA) as a Facilitator. In addition to facilitating the enrollment of Ethiopian and Eritrean refugee children into LCMS schools, he was also responsible for maintaining relationships between the schools and the families of these students.

In July of this year, having graduated with a Masters degree in Sacred Theology, Teddy began service with CFNA as a full time missionary among the 5,000 Ethiopian and 1,500 Eritrean people in the St. Louis area. Though a large majority consider themselves to be part of the Christian community, less than 25 percent are active in any Christian denomination. A mission field to be sure!

Rev. Workeneh with leaders

As would any missionary, Rev. Workeneh began his ministry by building relationships. Not only has he been reaching out to numerous families through the distribution of welcome packages, home furnishings and more, he has also established relationships with the leaders of the local Ethiopian and Eritrean communities.

The needs of these communities are not only reflected in the afore-mentioned activities, but also in the After School Tutoring program Rev. Teddy recently established at the Peace Center. Additionally, a leadership training class has also been started, in which three young men from Ethiopia and Eritrea have been enrolled.

Indeed, challenges and opportunities abound for this ministry, and the approximately 30 people now meeting weekly for Bible Study at the Peace Center. Clearly, with God's blessings, Rev. Workeneh is off to a great start. Moreover, his partners at CFNA, the LCMS Missouri District and Timothy Lutheran Church are fully prepared to be of further assistance. Let's be sure to keep Rev. Teddy and his family in our prayers.

Missouri District Fall Junior High Retreat

Psalm 103:12 NIV …as far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us.

The Missouri District Lutheran Jr High Retreat is returning this fall on October 20-22 around the theme, "Forgiven". Our focus this year is on Confession, and the Office of the Keys. The cost is $120.00. Please visit http://mo.lcms.org/event/missouri-district-fall-junior-high-retreat/ for additional information and to register!

Senior High District Youth Gathering

Eph. 4:24 "put on the new self, created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness."

Cost is $165.00 per person

We are excited to announce the theme and focus for our Senior High District Youth Gathering, which will be November 17-19, 2017 at Cross Pointe Retreat Center in Rocky Mount, MO.

Filters change how we view the world and ourselves. The Sr. High Youth Gathering will dig into this theme through interest centers, worship, service, and fellowship as we consider how our lives are transformed by Jesus Christ. Our theme verses come from Ephesians 4 where Paul explores the difference between a life lived in darkness that focuses on selfish desires, and the new life we live as forgiven children of God. How can we "put on the new self" that looks outward and takes action by living out the righteousness of Christ?

This will be a great weekend with youth from all across Missouri to hear interesting topics, breakout sessions (details to come), music with The Homesteaders, group devotions, games, servant events and more!

DEVOTION: Matthew 21:33-46 English Standard Version (ESV)

The Parable of the Tenants

³³"Hear another parable. There was a master of a house who planted a vineyard and put a fence around it and dug a winepress in it and built a tower and leased it to tenants, and went into another country.³⁴When the season for fruit drew near, he sent his servants^[a] to the tenants to get his fruit. ³⁵And the tenants took his servants and beat one, killed another, and stoned another. ³⁶Again he sent other servants, more than the first. And they did the same to them. ³⁷Finally he sent his son to them, saying, 'They will respect my son.' ³⁸But when the tenants saw the son, they said to themselves, 'This is the heir. Come, let us kill him and have his inheritance.' ³⁹And they took him and threw him out of the vineyard and killed him. ⁴⁰When therefore the owner of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those tenants?" ⁴¹They said to him, "He will put those wretches to a miserable death and let out the vineyard to other tenants who will give him the fruits in their seasons."

⁴²Jesus said to them, "Have you never read in the Scriptures:

"'The stone that the builders rejected
has become the cornerstone;^[b]
this was the Lord's doing,
and it is marvelous in our eyes'?

⁴³Therefore I tell you, the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a people producing its fruits. ⁴⁴And the one who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces; and when it falls on anyone, it will crush him."^[c]

⁴⁵When the chief priests and the Pharisees heard his parables, they perceived that he was speaking about them. ⁴⁶And although they were seeking to arrest him, they feared the crowds, because they held him to be a prophet.

I gotta laugh, because it says that the chief priests and Pharisees "perceived that he was speaking about them". No duh.

At the same time, I can preach the law in a sermon to a bunch of sinners, not unlike the chief priests and Pharisees, using such words as "you" and "we", and those sitting in the pews will only "perceive" that I am talking about or to someone else, or they just aren't listening. So I can sort of sympathize with Jesus. Although sometimes Jesus is talking to me in these passages and I totally miss the message myself.

So LISTEN to the message from Jesus today! The message is simple, DON'T REJECT JESUS! Instead of pushing him aside and only looking at him from afar every once in a while, BUILD YOUR LIFE ON HIM!! Don't be like the Israelites who rejected one prophet after another over many centuries! LISTEN TO GOD'S WORD AND PERCEIVE THAT HE IS TALKING ABOUT YOU AND TO YOU!

Let us pray: Lord, make me perceive that you are talking about me and to me in your Word so that I may truly hear you. Amen.

A NOTE FROM THE LITTLE LAMBS TEACHERS ABOUT THE PRESCHOOL ROOM

If you use the preschool area, make sure you put everything back just like you found it. If you have little kids down there, take note of where everything is and make sure it gets put back. It was not left the way it should be, and the teachers were not happy.

They are happy to let you use it, as long as you respect it and put things back where they go.

DEVOTION Philippians 3:4-11 English Standard Version (ESV)

If anyone else thinks he has reason for confidence in the flesh, I have more: ⁵circumcised on the eighth day, of the people of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews; as to the law, a Pharisee;⁶as to zeal, a persecutor of the church; as to righteousness under the law,^[a] blameless. ⁷But whatever gain I had, I counted as loss for the sake of Christ. ⁸Indeed, I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have suffered the loss of all things and count them as rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ ⁹and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which comes through faith in Christ, the righteousness from God that depends on faith— ¹⁰that I may know him and the power of his resurrection, and may share his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, ¹¹that by any means possible I may attain the resurrection from the dead.

Yes, being a Christian means losing. It means losing your whole self worth and finding worth in Christ. It means no longer boasting in who you are but boasting in who Christ is. It might mean losing a job. It might mean losing friends. It might mean losing your life.

Consider the Apostle Paul. He was the man. He had everything going for him. He was highly respected in his Jewish community. He was rich. He was powerful. He was everything he wanted to be. Then Jesus came. Jesus blinded him, sent him to Damascus where he would be baptized by Ananias, and turned his whole life upside down. He couldn't go back to his friends. They wouldn't just think he was weird for becoming one of those Christians. They would want to kill him. Literally.

He gave up his home, his family, his property, his power. He lost everything for the sake of Christ.

Now, I am not saying that you'll have to give up everything for Jesus, but there might be some things that are really getting in the way of your relationship with him. Maybe it's a job that requires you to miss worship too much. Maybe it's an overabundance of money that is causing you to trust in it more than Jesus. Maybe it's a friend who is bringing you down and away from Jesus. Maybe you are messing with some stuff, drugs, alcohol, the occult, sex, etc. and it is tearing you away from Jesus.

Whatever the case, know that when you lose those things to turn in repentance and faith to Christ, you gain so much more! You gain Christ! You gain salvation! You gain that peace that passes all understanding. You gain eternal life with Jesus and the whole community of saints! You gain everything!

So lose what you need to lose so you may gain a better relationship with Christ!

Prayer: Help me to lose everything that's getting in the way of my relationship with you so that I may know that peace that passes all understanding more and more. Amen.
