ADDITIONAL CONVENTION INFORMATION
Interest Sessions
Kay Kreklau – Missionary Journeys
Kay served as our LWML President from 2011-2015. During that time she was blessed to travel to the Dominican Republic to witness firsthand how our Mites blessed lives there. Her presentation will show how our mission dollars are working to bring more and more to know Jesus.
Karla Koehler, LWML Treasurer
Karla is a member of the Nebraska North District, a mother of two grown children, and a “purple grandma” according to her grandson! Karla’s first session, during lunch, will be with YWRs and group (society) presidents. The dinner interest session is open to all convention participants. Karla will share her story and how she became involved in the LWML. She will share how God uses her every day even in the accounting profession. Her vision for the LWML is to help bring God’s women together to serve our families, churches, communities and world as we show the love and light of Jesus Christ as we love and support one another.
Dr. Nancy A. Almodovar — From Jerusalem to Samaria to Your Cul-de-Sac
Jesus taught us to go out into all the world with the Gospel (Matt 28:18-20), and now the world is in our own cul-de-sac and often at our doorstep. Never has the world been closer to us and our own neighborhood. Mormons, Muslims, Sikhs and Hindus are now our neighbors. This session will educate you as to their beliefs and equip you to share the good news of salvation by grace alone in Christ alone. Do you know what they believe? How do you present the gospel to those of other faiths? What is the most important message they need to hear? In this breakout session you will be given the tools and will be taught how to use them to bring life and salvation to your neighbors from around the world.
Beth Foreman — Bible Study: Sipping from a Mirage
Optical illusions, mirages, and even social media. Can we trust what we see? We live in a fallen world where our eyes can easily be tricked into seeing what’s not there. Or seeing what we shouldn’t see. Or seeing what we think we want to see. We know we should lift our eyes to the Lord, but every single day, our eyes deceive us. In this session, we’ll take a look at these tricks and illusions as we open God’s Word. What does it mean to have “spiritual eyes” in this illusory world?
Beth Foreman began her LWML service years ago in the Utah-Idaho District and now lives in Michigan. She's a writer and editor who served for ten years on The Lutheran Woman’s Quarterly staff.
