Nomination Forms are in the Mail or have been Emailed

Each year voting members are encouraged to put forward names of individuals they know who would be strong leaders to serve on the LBTC Board. We look for candidates with leadership and financial background from Lutheran churches across Canada. Skill as a overseas missionary is considered a special asset.

Deadline to return nomination forms is December 11.

Voting members whose label code is VOTE 09 will also receive in this package a renewal form. A membership fee is also due when this renewal form is mailed to LBTC. Thank you for renewing your membership

Lutheran Bible Translators is blessed to have the faithful support of a dedicated group of volunteers.

Local Kitchener volunteers assist with many of the jobs in the office. Some help with mailings of the Messenger of Christ newspaper and other mailings. Others volunteer to take mailings to the post office or pick up shipments.

Congregational volunteers provide a vital link between your congregation and Lutheran Bible Translators of Canada. Working with their pastor, they receive and distribute various LBTC publications to their congregational members and place notices in the church bulletin on occasion. They also can be involved with Bible Translation Sunday and may help to organize fundraising events. Many volunteers represent LBTC at area mission events.

The work of LBTC cannot be accomplished without the help of volunteers and are an integral part of LBTC's ministry. We thank God for each one of them. Becoming a volunteer partner with LBTC is simple. Consider the ways in which you are interested and then contact the LBTC office by clicking here.
