	'Harvesters? seeks applicants
	for Aug. 25-28 training event

	Applications are being accepted for "Harvesters for Christ,"
aiming toward an Aug. 25-28 training event for those whose applications
are approved.

	Harvesters is a program of LCMS District and Congregational
Services that uses trained evangelism volunteers to help congregations
begin, revitalize, enhance, or expand their Gospel outreach ministry to
unchurched people in their communities.

	Rev. Al Tormoehlen, director of the program, explained that
Harvesters teams are "typically but not necessarily retired couples,"
and that all the volunteers "have zeal for expanding Christian
outreach."

	Harvesters teams usually serve congregations for a three- to
four-week period. During that time, congregations are responsible for
covering their teams' needs, including supplies, travel, food, and
lodging.

	Grant funds from the Marvin M. Schwan Charitable Foundation
cover registration and other expenses for the training of those accepted
as "Harvesters."

	For a "Harvesters" application, contact Tormoehlen at (800)
248-1930, Ext. 1287, or al.tormoehlen@lcms.org. For more information
about the program, go to www.lcms.org/outreach

Christ.
