The October 2016 issue of Reaching Rural America for Christ shares the story of the collaboration between Faith Lutheran Church in Knob Noster, Mo., and the Warrensburg Lutheran Campus Ministry at the University of Central Missouri. This partnership is called the Faith and Campus Mission Ministry.
Through these communities supporting one another in serving Jesus Christ, His presence is undeniable and His Kingdom is advanced.
The newsletter also offers information about an Engaging Your Community event and free monthly webinars.
