Why does this ministry exist?

Faith for the

World We Live In

Helping Christians see their faith—and their Savior—in all of life.

Christian faith is not something we set aside when we leave church.

God's Word speaks to the whole of life: to our relationship with Christ, our understanding of Scripture, our responsibilities as citizens, our families and communities, and the way we live each day.

MARTIN LUTHER’S EVENING PRAYER ministry seeks to help Christians to-

know Christ more deeply,

understand God's Word more clearly, and

live faithfully in the world God has placed us in.

Beginning and ending the day with Christ

Martin Luther's Evening Prayer radio and podcast brings Christian teaching, Scripture, reflection, and prayer into the ordinary rhythm of daily life.

The goal is simple:

to help people end the day remembering Christ, His promises, and His grace.

Seeing Christ in Scripture

The Old Testament is not merely the story of Israel. It is part of the story of Jesus Christ.

Through 366 short daily studies, Promises Fulfilled explores Old Testament prophecies fulfilled by Jesus—helping readers discover how the Old Testament continually points us toward Christ. 366 prophecies. 366 daily studies. One Savior.

Living faithfully in a political world

Politics affects all of us. But Christians can easily allow political agendas to become more important than their Christian calling.

The Believer in Politics seminar examines politics as a struggle among competing agendas and asks a deeper question:

How can Christians participate in political life in a way that is faithful to God?

The seminar is not about telling Christians which political side to choose. It is about helping believers think carefully, act responsibly, and maintain their Christian identity and witness in the political world.

One purpose

Many ways to serve

Whether through a daily devotional, a radio and podcast ministry, a seminar, a book, or a special event, the purpose remains the same:

To bring God's Word to people where they live—and to point them again and again to Jesus Christ.

Know Christ. Understand His Word. Live faithfully.

Rev. Dr. RICHARD ZEILE is available for Sunday or other worship preaching. He can plan worship suitable for most occasions ranging from 20 minutes (or less) to 75 minutes; his message for a typical Sunday service ranges from 12 to 18 minutes. The service can be without accompaniment if needed as he can serve as song leader. If desired e printed service ordo can be provided for those attending.

Dr. Zeile is ordained in the Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod and is limited to worship services that conform to their standards. Practically this means that he cannot share worship leadership of a service with individuals pledged to a differing confession of faith; he can, however, preside as the sole minister of a service open to the general public. Outside of worship he can teach a Bible class or give other kinds of presentations suited to the gathering.

Suggested honorarium is $200 for the first service of the day, half again as much for additional services/classes. Transportation and lodging arrangements may be negotiated.

He has presented at various conferences, including Lutheran College Conferences in Minneapolis, MN, and Columbus, OH, the Making Disciples conference in St. Louis, MO, and several times at the Best Practices conference in Phoenix, AZ. Based on I & II Samuel and focusing on David, the Biblical exemplar of God’s man in the messy world of war and politics, Dr. Zeile offers insights into the nature of politics, its temptations for Christians, and the classic problems identified in political philosophy that turn up, not just in the news but in the ordinary course of life.

Suggested honorarium for the first hour is $200; each additional hour add $100. Travel & lodging negotiable.
