Rev. Mark and Rose Krause - Missionaries to Latvia

Rev. Mark and Rose Krause of Urbandale, Iowa have heard and responded to the call of God to be missionaries in Latvia. We ask that God provide protection and peace for them as they now prepare for this important journey.

They will be working with local Lutheran pastors in Latvia and the Northern Baltics, mentoring them and providing them with leadership and training skills needed to share the Good News of Jesus Christ to a region that had been hidden behind the "Iron Curtain" for so many years.

Pastor Krause has served in several places, the most recent being Shepherd of the Valley in Des Moines, Iowa and Living Faith Lutheran in Clive, Iowa. This new and exciting assignment will have them entering into a mission field that is ripe for the harvest. They need to raise their own support and any help that people can give is so important. Please see the attached "adoption agreement" in PDF format the describes their background in more detail. If you wish to support them, print out the "adoption agreement" and return it to Gary Thies at Mission Central.
