Giving Thanks for God’s Shepherds 2025

“I will give you shepherds after My own heart who will feed you with knowledge and understanding.” (Jeremiah 3:15)

In this year’s Thanksgiving letter we’re reminded of the countless blessings God has given us, especially the faithful servants who shepherd His flock.

The student profile highlights one of our MTS students (Masters in Theological Studies), Pastor Dionatan Ferreira, who is an example of how God is using our seminary to bring faithful pastors to Canada from other countries.

Reflecting on his journey from Brazil to Canada, Pastor Ferreira commented:

“We are all pilgrims in this world; we are all on a journey to our heavenly Jerusalem. Concordia Lutheran Theological Seminary has equipped me to be more courageous in leading Christ’s people to continue their walk toward their heavenly home.” Read more here.
