New Year's Update from Pastor John Bombaro

As we kick off 2020, we are sharing updates from the Bombaro and Schultz families - the recipients of this year’s ILS Chapel offerings. Pastor John Bombaro and his family are back in Alexandria, and Pastor Bombaro was our special guest at Chapel this morning. He shared an update on upcoming missionary work in Latvia. (Please forgive the background noise due to the construction work underway on our chancel.) You can also view the latest newsletter from the Bombaro family with more information on their work online.

New Year's Update from the Schultz Family

As we kick off 2020, we wanted to share some quick updates from the Schultz and Bombaro families - the recipients of this year’s ILS Chapel offerings. This week, the Schultz family checks in and shares an update from Fort Wayne, where former ILS Upper School teacher Aaron Schultz is pursuing his Master of Divinity at Concordia Theological Seminary.

“I’m in my second year of seminary. This April we will find out where we will be going for vicarage. And then sometime in the summer, likely July, we will leave for vicarage. Vicarage will last for a full year, and then we’ll come back to Fort Wayne for me to complete my fourth and final year of seminary. Katie is still at home with our three youngest. We don’t call it “home school”; instead, Benjamin decided to call it, “school home”. So, Katie is doing school-home with Ben, who just turned 5 years old. Benjamin loves art and gymnastics. Canon (7) is still at Redeemer Classical in Fort Wayne. I teach at Redeemer once a week, and I thoroughly enjoy getting to still be in the classroom. Canon, like his father, loves math and is about to start his basketball season. Samuel (2) and Augustine (1) are also home with Katie. Sam lives up to his nickname quite well: Wild Man SamBam. We are currently in the throes of potty training with Sam. Auggie is pulling himself up to a stand and should be walking in no time.”
— Mr. Aaron Schultz

Meet Us Monday: Seminarian Aaron Schultz

Weekly all-school Chapel services are an important part of our ILS culture, and we warmly invite parents, siblings, grandparents, and friends to join us for these services.

A voluntary offering will be collected at weekly Chapel services throughout the year. The offerings will be distributed to Mr. Aaron Schultz, to support him and his family as he pursues his Master of Divinity at Concordia Theological Seminary, and to Pastor Bombaro & family, for their missionary work in Latvia.

We’re using our Meet Us Monday series to introduce (or re-introduce) ILS families to Mr. Schultz and Pastor Bombaro and their families, to better understand how our prayers and offerings will be supporting them and their work this year.

After 5 years teaching at Immanuel, Mr. Aaron Schultz and his family moved to Ft. Wayne, Indiana, where Mr. Schultz is currently pursuing his Master of Divinity at Concordia Theological Seminary in preparation for ordination in the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod. They are now beginning their second year there.

The Bombaros accepted a call from the LCMS Office of International Missions to Riga, Latvia, where they will aid in the EU and English credentialing of Latvia’s only seminary, plant an English-speaking Lutheran church in the capital, teach and mentor seminarians, and provide theological education throughout Eurasia.
