Milestones
Brian Zimdars and Kayla Voight were married last Saturday in Milwaukee. We’ve seen Kayla often as Brian’s guest, but now that she’ll be living in Middleton we look forward to seeing her more often!

Robb and Paula Maxwell welcomed baby Chloe on Saturday, August 19. She arrived early and at a tiny weight, but she’s been growing ever since. She remains in intensive care, likely for another couple weeks. We pray for her to continue to gain weight and stay healthy.

Ashley and Luis Otto-Mendoza welcomed baby Lushia Marie last Saturday morning. Ashley is home and healthy. Lushia was born with a condition called spina-bifida. Mom, dad, and doctors knew of this for many months so Lushia had a planned surgery on Saturday evening. The surgery went well but she will remain in the hospital for about another week to heal and for the family to develop a continuing care plan.

College Students
Jesus loves college students and wants your college student to remain close to him. St. Andrew wants that too. You can help us by sending your child’s college address to mark.kjenstad@st-andrew-online.org.

Impact
Paul writes in Ephesians, “Put on the whole armor of God.” That is what you do every time your Bible is open and every time you listen to this podcast. This week it’s part two on Ephesians 6 with Professor Steve Geiger. You can listen to Impact here or on popular podcast platforms by searching “Kjenstad Impact.”

Dear friends at St. Andrew,

Thank you for your generous donation! Your entire gift was doubled by a generous donor as a part of our matching campaign. We are using these funds to pay for the flights and start-up expenses for our new class of eight new missionaries. They will serve in Vietnam, Thailand, China, and the Philippines. You are a blessing to many people! Thank you again.

Aaron Wakeman
Executive Director, Friends Network

Note of thanks from the Brandts
We would like to thank our St. Andrew family for the thoughts, prayers, and cards following the death of our son, Aaron. We traveled to Oregon/Washington and were able to have a wonderful gathering of his friends and neighbors. At this time, we are not planning a gathering here in Wisconsin. Thank you for your continuing kindness.

Lakeside bus driver
Lakeside is looking for two bus drivers for this coming school year (Middleton and Sun Prairie/Eastside routes). Do you know anyone who is retired or looking for part time work, or currently has a flexible schedule and would like to make some additional income? No experience needed, and we will train new drivers in house to obtain the proper license. Contact Eric Haley for more information.

Monthly Mission Partner
Preparing to be a called worker in the public ministry of the gospel is no small task. It involves at least a college degree and often ministerial education at the high school level. St. Andrew offers financial assistance to those who attend one of these schools that prepares them for those callings: Luther Preparatory School in Watertown; Martin Luther College in New Ulm, Minnesota; and Wisconsin Lutheran Seminary in Mequon. The video below describes the purpose and shows some of the activity of Martin Luther College, where currently two St. Andrew members attend.
