Bible Studies for Men
What? Why? How?

January 6-7, 2012 is the date set for our Annual Men's Winter Retreat.  It will be held at the beautiful Shepherd's Hill at the CrossRoads, St. John, ND.   Our presenter will be Mr. Richard Cohrs of Lutheran Hour Ministries, St. Louis. He will speak on the Men’s Network and what this LHM’s program can do for Christian men and their role in the home and church. Father and son duos are also welcome to attend.

The goal of the retreat is to strengthen men in their God- given role as leaders in their family and congregation.

Men will come away encouraged & more committed to their role as spiritual leaders.

For over 25 years men have enjoyed the camaraderie of these retreats --– thought-provoking Scripture-based presentations, fellowship, music, good food, card games, skeet shooting, sleigh rides, etc.

LLL Chinese Ministry

On July 30, 2007, Ruth and Paul, the two LLL sponsored Chinese Missionaries, started their trek back to China. They had been in the United States for 2 years, sharing the Good News of Jesus Christ with the Chinese population in the Fargo-Moorhead area.

We would like to report some of the results of their work. While they were in ND, five Chinese were baptized and joined St. Andrew Lutheran Church in West Fargo. To this day, there are numerous Bible Studies going on, reaching approximately 10 non-Christians each week. The Chinese population in the Fargo-Moorhead area is a transient population, as they are mostly students, working on advanced degrees. There is no way to count the number of lives that have been touched through their work and their ministry here in the U.S. Due to the transparency of the internet and the treatment of some Christians in China, we chose not to put specifics on this website. If you would like more information or want to hear some of the stories about this ministry, please contact Kirk or Judy Rosin at krosin at juno.com. They would be happy to share information on the Chinese Ministry with you, your church or group.
