Seminary Gift Card Thank Yous
Thank you for your support of seminary students at Concordia Theological Seminary through the Christmas Marketplace this year. The gift cards and quilts we received are a blessing for all of us. The quilts keep us warm on cold Indiana nights and help our accommodations here feel more like home while the gift cards help alleviate some financial strain. This is especially true for me this year as I prepare for both marriage and an internship in the coming year. I am still not completely sure what all these will entail, but I do know that God will provide for what we need including the gifts that you have so generously sent. I hope you have a merry and blessed Christmas and that your year ahead is also filled with wonderful blessings! Ruth Ann Sangness
Thank you so much for the gift card – at this time of year it is much appreciated. We are in our last year at the seminary and very much looking forward to Call Night. God’s richest blessings at this holiday season! Jeff & Caryn Arnold
A blessed Christmas season to you! May this celebratory time of the year bring you peace, hope and happiness as we rejoice in the greatest gift in the world, Jesus Christ. As we thank the Lord for His gift, my wife, children and I thank you for your great generosity. The gift cards we have received from you and many others provide us with groceries, meals, presents for our families with full tanks of gas to visit them this Christmas. We greatly appreciate your prayers, thoughts and support at this time of the year! Luke Otten & Family

Pastor Speckhard bio
Pastor Speckhard graduated from Valparaiso University with a Bachelor’s Degree in Classics (Greek and Latin culture/literature) in 2011. And earned his M.Div at Concordia Theological Seminary in Fort Wayne, Indiana, graduating in 2015. Pastor Speckhard grew up the oldest of four with his family in Valparaiso, IN. He met his wife Erika while attending Valparaiso University. They have three great children. In addition to reading and writing, Pastor’s interests and hobbies mostly have to do with sports. He loves to play and watch just about every sport out there — particularly football and hockey. His family has rooted for the Packers, Blackhawks, Cubs, Fighting Irish (football), and Hoosiers (basketball) for about as long as anyone can remember. He loves to play hockey, baseball/softball, basketball, tennis, and golf (He said “though, as a general rule, I am much better at watching than playing”).

“The Miracle of Salvation”
“We’ve never been part of a church that’s just getting started, so this is all new territory for us. The bottom line is, it’s AWESOME! It’s incredible to see God at work, bringing people together and making the pieces fall into place. For the first time in years, we are truly excited about being in a Sunday morning service. We haven’t worshipped and learned like we are now in quite some time.”

“The Miracle of Salvation”
“ What drew me to church were the strong family relationships. I grew up in church all my life but did not know Christ Himself. He was so misrepresented in the religious ‘Christianity’ I knew. When I came to church I met genuine people who loved God and loved each other. I was loved on by people who made me feel that it was okay to be not okay sometimes. I didn’t have to put on a smile.”

“The Miracle of Salvation”
“ I first came to church when visiting my sister. For me, church is an oasis where I can be refreshed with living water. It is a privilege to be part of something great! Overwhelmed by the gift of salvation I have found in Jesus, I have a heart for authentic worship, are passionate about the local church, and are on mission to see God’s kingdom established across the earth. A church that loves God.”
