Lutheran Bishops’ Guatemalan Pilgrimage
March 2008
On Wednesday, March 12, 2008, I embarked on a pilgrimage with 6 District Presidents of the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod (LCMS) and one Chairman of the Board of Directors of LCMS who served as Admiral of the U.S. Navy. Two pastors, who also belong to LCMS, were an important part of our pilgrimage. These pastors work diligently for Food For The Poor as speakers in our Speakers’ Bureau — frequently visiting churches and preaching the “Good News” of the Gospel to congregations, as well as sharing the needs of the poorest of God’s poor and begging on their behalf. Participants in what was a truly amazing pilgrimage were:

At first I had some trepidation about going on a pilgrimage and spending several days with such a distinguished group of men of God. I have to say that I was completely at ease from the very first couple of hours after meeting these very special gentlemen. They were men of tremendous humility and wonderfully nice people. Their sense of compassion, as I learned throughout the pilgrimage, was matched by their depth and theological knowledge. They also had a really great sense of humor!
