Mission and Ministry work in Latin America & the Caribbean
The VDMA project is pleased to announce the first edition of a new daily devotion booklet in Spanish: La Palabra Del Señor Permanece Para Siempre, which means The Word of the Lord Endures Forever. The quarterly publication began in January 2023.
Pastors and seminary students across the Latin America and Caribbean region have started the new year with two new eBooks provided by the VDMA Project. Both volumes contain study documents published by the LCMS Commission of Theology and Church Relations. The first book focuses on the Life of the Christian, while the second is about the Life of the Church.
