RobertPre-Seminary Studies BA
"God's spirit is at work everywhere."
Robert first enrolled at Concordia in the mid-1980s, then left for several years before returning to finish his pre-seminary studies.
Since his return to college he has taken part in numerous outreach projects, ranging from working with the homeless of St. Paul to helping with a youth ministry program in Kazakhstan to working with missionaries on a Minnesota Indian reservation in order to learn both about Indian culture and how to present the Gospel to Native Americans.
"All of these experiences are life-lasting. Each of them is unique; the people whom I've been able to meet, share and work with are incredible blessings from God. They have helped me to realize that God's spirit is at work everywhere. The relationships you make are invaluable."
With plans to go to Concordia Seminary in St. Louis, Missouri, completing his undergraduate education at a Lutheran university was a critical first step.
"To be able to focus on Christ and your studies with fellow students is incredible. In all areas -- through my coursework, my study habits, relationships and work -- I have been trained to begin the next phase of my life."
