Jonni Sliver Accepts Call to Brazil

image The World Missions Committee would like to introduce  our most recent missionary, Jonni Sliver.  Jonni will be commissioned at this year Annual Conference.  She will begin deputation and visiting churches in the near future.

Jonni has been a longtime member of Emmaus Lutheran Church (AFLC), Bloomington, MN.  She is a graduate of Bethany Fellowship School of Missions and has served in Brazil from 1988 to 2004. 

Because of health problems it was apparent that Jonni’s mother could no longer live alone.  Therefore, Jonni came home to care for her mother in 2004.  Last May Jonni’s mother went home to be with the Lord which freed Jonni to return to Brazil.

Jonni will serve at the Miriam Infant home and our Bible school and seminary in Brazil.
