Support the Seminarian - Sergiu Trifa

Mar 15, 2025

Support for Seminarian
Sergiu Trifa

Sergiu Trifa is a native Romanian currently in his second year at Concordia Theological Seminary in Fort Wayne, IN with the goal of becoming a Lutheran pastor. He's the son of Rev. Sorin-Horia Trifa, a Romanian pastor who works with the LCMS. His story is one of faith in action, most notably his mission work in Romania, where in 2022, he led thousands of Ukrainian refugees from their war torn communities to safety in Romania.

The cost associated with pursuing a seminary degree in Pastoral Studies is formidable, and sometimes a huge obstacle for students. Zion has designated special offerings and other financial support to assist this young man in his journey toward becoming a pastor, as part of our broader efforts to support the development of more full-time church workers for our Lutheran congregations!

Thank You! ... from Zion’s own Charles Wallace

Mar 14, 2025

Mike Wallace is now a Second-year Seminarian at Concordia St. Louis
My journey to the seminary is one that could take hours to fully explain, filled with twists, challenges, and moments of deep discernment. But one thing is certain—it is a journey that has not been traveled alone. You have been a part of it.

The rising cost of higher education made obtaining my undergraduate de-gree a significant financial challenge. While I have made it this far by the grace of God, the weight of that burden is still very real. That is why your generosity has meant so much. It has not only helped ease that financial strain, but it has also reaffirmed my calling and given me the opportunity to continue pursuing this path. Without you, I would not be here today. Your kind support has been a tangible expression of God’s provision in my life, and for that, I am profoundly grateful. My hope is that one day, I will be able to extend the same generosity to others that you have shown to me.
