If you’re a retired Lutheran pastor with a heart for missions and the desire to keep your preaching skills sharp, LHF wants to talk to you!
Applications are now being taken for Independent Regional Promotional Representatives (IRPRs), a contracted position that pays for your time, per event. Interested parties should contact LHF by emailing info@LHFmissions.org or calling the office at (800)554-0723.
IRPRs go into LCMS congregations to lead LHF Sundays, where they typically preach the sermon (usually on the text of the day) and/or lead Bible study, teaching members about God’s call for His people to share the Good News of Jesus Christ to all peoples. Some IRPRs also speak in Lutheran day school chapels or at LWML zone rallies, and they frequently man LHF’s exhibit tables at LCMS and LWML district conventions.
“IRPRs have the joyous opportunity to preach Christ crucified and risen AND show ’n’ tell how LHF’s Christ-proclaiming books in the heart languages of the people travel around the world to bring forgiveness, peace and joy,” said Rev. Bob Marshall, one of LHF’s IRPRs (pictured above at right).
“I really enjoy meeting well-known LCMS leaders and seeing and hearing their utmost respect for LHF,” said IRPR Rev. Tom Fischer. “LHF is truly among the most highly respected ministries in Synod and beyond! And the LHF home office in Michigan gives us a lot of support.”
As IRPRs make personal contacts with people seeking to support LHF’s work, “we’re building awareness of LHF’s worldwide mission and offering resources to help churches bring Christ’s Word to new immigrants in their communities,” Rev. Marshall added. “By the blessing of the Holy Spirit, this mission is reversing Babel!”
