Online Version of Global Vision!

Sign up to receive our free, bi-annual newsletter in this new format. It is our goal to be able to more readily connect with students, alums and friends in the states and around the globe.

The online format allows the GMI to be good stewards of our resources.

Along with good stewardship, an electronic edition of Global Vision will allow readers to be more connected to additional resources and updates from the GMI and Luther Seminary. 

The GMI launched the electronic version of our newsletter, Global Vision, in 2009.
