Our Missionaries on the Move

Pastor Adam McDowell • January 27, 2025

This past weekend, we talked about the "right time."

Watch the video of Pastor McDowell telling us more about "The Right Time" for Pastor Sharp and his family.

This weekend, we talked about the “right time.” The right time for Jesus to go into his hometown to proclaim that he has set the captives free, free from sin, death, and the devil, not just for his hometown, not just for Israel, but for the entire world. We were on that mission as well, to proclaim that Good News.


During the month of January, we pay special attention to the work of our missionary, Pastor Sharp and his missionary work in Uruguay. I spoke to him over the phone and he said they believe that God is calling them elsewhere. Now is the right time to let the work of God continue to happen in Uruguay with the churches that they have planted. They have reached goal posts in their ministry in Uruguay and now will move their work to Puerto Rico. Pastor Sharp is going to plant a new church in San Juan, and Angie is going to work to build a new school in Ponce.


Over the years, we have kept Pastor Sharp in our prayers and have financially given him our gifts to support that mission work. Our Mission Team continues to ask you to keep Pastor Sharp and Angie in your prayers as well as to continue to give of your financial gifts to support this work of the proclamation of the gospel. No matter where we are, it is always the right time to talk about our Lord, that He has given us forgiveness. We thank Pastor Sharp for the great work he and Angie are doing and also being an example to us here at St. Peters.

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, I hope this note finds you well and encouraged in the Lord. St. Peter’s continues to be a place where God is at work through our preschool, school, various ministries, and the daily faithfulness of His people. I am grateful to serve the Lord with you in this place! As we continue to serve together, I want to update you on changes in our church office and ministry staff. As many of you know, Michelle Leahy has been serving as our “Interim Director of Operations,” providing support and coordination across many areas of congregational life. In the coming weeks, Michelle will be stepping into a new role, “Executive Director.” This means her work will shift from hands-on ministry support to more administrative leadership and oversight of the church office, properties, finances, and technology. This is an important step for us as a congregation as we continue to support our staff and serve our members. With this change, we want to ensure that daily ministry needs are met. After reviewing our current staffing and budget, we can make an adjustment that supports the ongoing ministry without increasing costs. To that end, Kami Jo Mogelvang will expand her role to serve as “Church Ministry Coordinator.” Many of you have already seen Kami Jo assisting Pastor McDowell in youth ministry two days each week. Under the new alignment, she will: Continue serving in youth ministry, and Help coordinate ministry efforts and volunteer connections with Pastor Nate and Pastor McDowell across the congregation. This will help us strengthen volunteer support and the many “connecting points” that help our church family care for one another. As Kami Jo transitions out of her receptionist duties, this change will open about 18 hours per week at the front desk, which we have posted. This staffing arrangement stays within our approved 2025 budget. I am thankful for Michelle, Kami Jo, our staff, and all our volunteers. I also appreciate the spirit of grace and partnership that marks our congregation. Please keep our staff and ministry leaders in your prayers as we move through these transitions. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out. Thank you for the privilege of serving Christ with you! In Christ, Pastor Danny Eggold St. Peter’s Lutheran Church & School
