Pastor Strutz received a call to serve as mission counselor for our synod.

This does NOT mean that Pastor Strutz is leaving.  This means that Pastor Strutz will have the opportunity to deliberate where best to serve in Christ`s kingdom.

A mission counselor is a pastor who works with and mentors new mission churches and pastors at new missions.  The mission counselor also explores new locations where missions might be started.
