Together in Mission

At the 2018 South Dakota District Convention, convention delegates adopted Resolution 3-07 to financially support Rev. Dr. Daniel Jastram, LCMS Missionary to Southeast Asia and Rev. David Warner, LCMS Missionary to Spain.  The congregations of the district agreed that their Together In Mission offerings to the district would be evenly distributed between both missionaries.
