MOY'S MISSION
In praise to God and our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, who is the Way, the Truth
and the Life, the family of Moy Langhorst, motivated by the Holy Spirit has established
the PFC Moisés Albert Langhorst Mission Fund.
Moy Langhorst a life long member of St. Peter’s Lutheran Church of Moose Lake Minnesota enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps soon after his
graduation from high school. Moy believed that by becoming a Marine that he could
serve both his God and country. On April 6, 2004 Moy’s squad of Marine infantrymen
were attacked in Ar Ramadi, Iraq. Moy and another Marine were killed in action with
several others wounded. Moy’s purpose for going to Iraq was to bring peace and freedom
to the Iraqi people. Faithful to the very end, Moy experienced nineteen years of
the Peace and freedom found only in Jesus Christ. Moy desired this same Peace for
the people of the Middle East and the sacrifice of his earthly life has made it
financially possible for him/us to continue his mission.
Funds generated shall be disbursed annually by the LCMS
Foundation to The Lutheran Church Missouri Synod Board for Mission Service, St.
Louis, Missouri, to be used for scholarships for persons who are (1) students in
at least the third year of undergraduate study or any level of graduate study at
any college, university, or seminary, any current LCMS missionary or U.S. military
chaplaincies; (2) studying foreign or domestic mission outreach work; and (3) demonstrate
financial need. Preference shall be given to students who have served in the military,
specifically the U.S. Marine Corps, students who were formerly of the Islamic faith,
students of Middle Eastern descent, and students that can speak Arabic. To date
the endowment fund has distributed $13711.00 to 8 recipients. For more information
on how to apply for a scholarship please contact: Karen Schrader Executive Assistant the LCMS board for Mission service St. Louis, Missouri.
Ask God to give you a heart of love and concern for Muslim

mission. |
