Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ:
The salvation story of Jesus Christ reaches around the world. So that the readers of our Daily Devotion may see the power of the Savior on a global scale, we have asked the volunteers of our International Ministry Centers to write our Friday devotions. We pray that the Spirit may touch your day through their words.
In Christ, I remain, His servant and yours,
Kenneth R. Klaus
Speaker of The Lutheran Hour
I was a missionary in Zambia, Africa, working with a small Lutheran church, which had parishes in Zambia and the Congo, which then was known as Zaire. The main task of our missionary organization was -- and still is -- to run the Bible school in Lusaka, the capital of Zambia, where we train workers for the church.
During the past two to three decades a lot of people have run away from Zaire because of the unsettled situation of the country. A large percentage of these displaced souls ended up trying to set down roots in neighbouring countries.
We once received a sorrowful letter from Zaire. The epistle told us the mother of one of our students had passed away.
That sadness was doubled by the fact that the mother had died almost a year ago. We knew Zaire was a huge country and -- because of many wars and other problems -- sending a message from one part of the country to another might take time.
But a whole year was too much as the student mourned an event which had long since been past, as he dealt with the knowledge he would never be able to give his mother an earthly farewell, or an "I love you."
At that moment, we all had to deal with the question, "Where can we seek help when a loved one dies?"
The answer is a powerful one, the only one. We receive our comfort and hope from Jesus, who has conquered death.
The knowledge that Jesus died for our sins and rose on the third day so we would be given eternal life is comfort. That is the message which soothed the grieving heart of our student. That is the message we need to spread all over the world.
We need to tell everyone about Jesus, that He loves everyone and wants to bring all of us to heaven.
THE PRAYER: Heavenly Father, help us to do mission work. Help us try to find those who are willing to leave their homeland and go where You send them. Help us support mission work financially so the Gospel will bring the hope of eternal life to many. In Jesus' Name we pray. Amen

NEWS:
The ninth annual T-3 Men's Retreat is set for Friday-Sunday, September 23-25, 2011. This promises to be another great experience for the men of St John's and other Lutheran congregations in the St. Charles area. In fact, men from all over the metro area have joined this special time in the past. Men 18 years of age or older are eligible and they need not be Lutheran to attend. The retreat will be held at Mark Twain State Park at the Si Coburn Group Camp. This is a beautiful setting for a weekend of adventure and growth. The theme of this year's retreat is "Respectable Sins" and the study times during the retreat will be spent exploring the areas of our lives where we have come to accept less than God might want from us.
The retreat will feature great food and a lot of activities A scramble golf tournament, fishing tournament, trap and skeet shooting competition, and euchre tournament all take place on Saturday morning. If none of these interest you, you may choose to spend time reading, hiking , biking, site seeing, or napping. Prizes are awarded to tournament winners at dinner on Saturday evening. Campfires on Friday and Saturday nights provide the opportunity to get to know others better under the stars. Music is a big part of the camp experience and you will enjoy hearing and singing familiar songs with the 100+ men who typically attend. The culminating worship service on Sunday morning is a special time of praising God for all His gifts to us and a great way to prepare us to return to our homes and lives.
The cost of the retreat is only $42 and this includes meals and a commemorative tee-shirt. Attendees have the option of staying in group cabins or tent camping on the grounds at no additional charge. You can even arrange to stay in a local motel near the camp at reduced rates if you like.
A brochure with all information and a registration form will be available soon in the narthex. You can also register online at www.t3mensretreat.org using PayPal. It is really easy and you can see pictures of the camp and facilities there, too.
This is the year for you to go to the T-3 (trap-tackle-tees) Retreat. Sign up, meet new friends, bring old friends, and join in the fun of growing your faith. For more information, contact Don Hugo at Zion –636 441-7425 ext 246 or home 636 441-9954.

Jonas's Updates
Monday, August 15
Posted 8 hours agoJonas was admitted to Children's Mercy last night with a 102° fever and extreme lethargy. After having bloodwork drawn he was determined to be neutrapenic and was almost immediately given a blood transfusion. He is restng comfortably and is being given antibiotics for an infection around his gtube (the tube on his stomach where he gets his formula feeding). Apparently, all the germs in your gut like to get out of control when your battle systems go down.
It looks like Texas wil be put on hold until after this next round of chemo.
We are in a holding pattern for now.Send a message

Merryland and KoshielandPosted 5 hours agoby Morgan ElizabethOkay so I know Jonas may not know me that well, but when I heard about all of this, I started crying. I have been praying for him every day hoping that he will get better. I know that Jonas is a strong kid, and he CAN get through this.
I went and saw Mr. Morales today and I looked over at the stool where Jonas used to sit in strings and i said, "That was Jonas' stool." and Mr. Mo turns to me and says, "It still IS his stool."
Keep fighting, Jonas. :)

Many of our Daily Devotion readers are acquainted with the name, Mick Onnen, president of the International Lutheran Laymen's League and that organization's public persona, Lutheran Hour Ministries. Since his presidency, Mick has sent out a weekly prayer list to our organization's leaders. Recently that list was accompanied by the devotion, which follows. Presented with only the smallest of changes, I share it because of its value and because I wanted you to know the kind of leaders our organization has.
Pastor Ken Klaus
Last week, my extended family vacationed in the Colorado Rockies and we enjoyed a new experience.
We older ones in the crowd rafted a stretch of the Colorado River which was somewhat swollen from the heavy snowmelt.
It was a bit turbulent. Even so, for a man who originates from a state appropriately named "Flat Waters" by the Native Americans (Nebraska), it was fun and exhilarating.
Our kids, on the other hand, rafted the swollen and very challenging Clear Creek, west of Denver. It is a stream with fast-moving white water, treacherous rocks and whirlpools. I offered a lot of prayers that day -- not for our group -- but for the kids.
Although guides are present on the rafts trips, swollen rivers can be unpredictable and dangerous. I was glad when we got the call that the kids had finished the ride and were on their way home.
It wasn't until they arrived at our cabin that we learned my daughter-in-law had twice been thrown out of the raft ... along with the guide. (They told me the guide had only been dunked one time in the last five years). By God's grace, they had been plucked out of the water before a dangerous whirlpool engulfed them or they were smacked against a rock.
My son's comment after the ride was "Now I can say that I've done it, but I don't have a desire to do it again."
For that comment I said another prayer of thanks!
Thinking upon the adventure, I've concluded mountain streams can pack a lot of power as they tumble and roar down the mountainside. Those who have experienced the force of floodwaters can attest to the strength of water.
But as powerful as is a mighty river, the LORD on high is mightier.
It is a comfort to know that at all times, even when the waters surround and engulf us (or the problems of the world weigh heavy upon us), the LORD is in control for He is mightier than all the force of the sea. Truly, "... God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble" (Psalm 46:1b).
For that, I say a little prayer of thanks.
THE PRAYER: Dear Lord, I give thanks for Your power and strength. For bringing us through dangerous waters, for using that power in the Person of Your Son to defeat sin, death, and devil and win my salvation, I praise Your Name. In Jesus' Name I praise You. Amen.
