Kazakstan Missionaries
Missionaries Morris and Jean Olson have been working as LCMS missionaries all over the world since 1994 and most recently are in Kazakstan. They have been working for so long and have been struggling with the tough ministry life there and feeling alone in the fight for the gospel. They had begun searching for ways to grow spiritually while they work giving so much to the congregations there. They found a church to worship with through podcast that was LCMS and in Dallas, TX. Pastor Luke Biggs and the congregation at Prince of Peace Lutheran Church have been ministering to them all the way in Russia!!!
