Licht Scott 2012Please join Lutherans For Life in welcoming Mr. Scott Licht as LFL’s first National Director. He will be responsible for managing the administrative aspects at the National Life Center and overseeing the implementation and updating of LFL’s strategic plan—a plan to expand and improve how we can all help others as we share and apply the Gospel to life issues.

LFL’s executive director, Rev. Dr. James Lamb, will continue oversight of the entire ministry but will focus primarily upon preaching, speaking, and writing.

Lutherans For Life thanks the Lord of Life for His grace in all these changes, and we pray He will continue to bless the ministry of LFL to His glory as we carry out the mission of “Equipping Lutherans to be Gospel-motivated voices For Life.”

Here is a brief bio of Scott:

Scott grew up in New Ulm, Minnesota, and was raised in the Wisconsin Synod. He graduated from Martin Luther Preparatory School, Northwestern College (the WELS pastor-training college), and attended Wisconsin Lutheran Seminary for a short time. In 2005, he earned an MBA and a Master of Science in Information Systems from Iowa State University. Most recently, Scott worked for Burke Corporation in Nevada, Iowa, as the Information Technology Manager and Supply Chain Manager. His true passion, however, is fulfilled in his weekend job—Pastor of Shepherd of the Prairie Lutheran Church in Huxley, Iowa. They are a mission congregation rostered with the Lutheran Congregations in Mission to Christ (LCMC) and the North American Lutheran Church (NALC). Scott’s role at Lutherans For Life allows him to combine his business experience with his passion for serving our Lord of Life. Scott has two daughters who are grown and living on their own in the Des Moines area. He and wife, Sue, live near Huxley with her three daughters, three horses, two cats and a dog. Scott says, “There is never a lack of things to do and I give thanks for how richly God has blessed me. I look forward to serving Him through the mission of Lutherans For Life and I would ask for your prayers as we continue to ‘equip Lutherans to be Gospel-motivated voices For Life.’”
