More than a year into the COVID-19 pandemic, here's the latest update on ELCA missionaries and how they're at work around the world.

When the pandemic first swept the world, the ELCA asked mission personnel to come back to the United States for a period. Since then, almost all missionaries have been able to return to their countries of service. A year later, many ELCA members have asked, “Are missionaries still serving internationally?” The answer is: Yes! The ELCA continues to send missionaries into the world to serve alongside our companions and partners in ministry, based on their needs and requests.

Currently, more than 110 Evangelical Lutheran Church in America missionary households are serving in 45 countries, including three new missionaries sent in 2020 and open positions being interviewed for in 2021. Our missionaries serve in a variety of roles, working alongside our companions to proclaim the gospel, raise up leaders, care for those in need, and help ELCA members develop relationships with our siblings in Christ around the world.

As we as a global community continue to respond to the lasting impacts of COVID-19, the rise of variants, and uncertainty surrounding vaccine rollout, the YAGM program had to cancel its second year of service in a row. This has resulted in the service of all YAGM country coordinators ending in March of this year. We give thanks for the service and pastoral presence of the Young Adults in Global Mission country coordinator team. We thank Kim Crawford, Henry Martinez, Rachel Ringlaben, Meghan Brown Saavedra, Janelle Neubauer, Kristin Engstrom, Grant and Amanda Applehans, Meghan and Gabi Aelabouni, and Zach Courter for their service, and we celebrate their contributions to the YAGM family worldwide. We continue to monitor the situation and plan to resume the YAGM program in 2022.

In engaging God’s reconciling mission through accompaniment, we work to equip ourselves and our companions for our call to share the good news and to serve our neighbors. There will always be very real challenges. But God invites us to the table, and then sends us out with our companions to share and to serve. When we tire, our companions hold us up; when our faith is weak, our companions remind us of what we have seen and shared together. In turn we hold the faith for them. God created humans for relationships for this purpose. Together, we can continue to live out God’s reconciling love.

If you’re sensing a call to global service, consider applying for an open position. Explore global ELCA job openings here: https://elca.org/Careers/Global-Service-Opportunities
