January 2014 will mark the fourth time students from
Wartburg Theological Seminary have been welcomed to Iceland for a cross-cultural immersion (a graduation requirement for all Wartburg students). Like the first group that set off in January 2008, this year's bunch will set off early in the new year to spend time with and learn from our sisters and brothers in Christ far up in the North Atlantic - absorbing Icelandic culture, cuisine, history, and ecclesial wisdom... not to mention the experience of winter near the top of the globe.

| Wartburg Theological Seminary - Iceland J-Term 2014 |
Allow me to give you a glimpse of the folks who have chosen to go this year. In addition to yours truly (Dr. S.D. Giere), we have (from left to right): Will Layton, Steven Neal, Megan Hays, Paul Theiss, and Kelsie Theiss. They will be introducing themselves on the blog in the weeks before we depart, and they will be blogging about their experiences while we are in Iceland.
We invite your prayers for this adventure, for our hosts in Iceland, and for all those traveling near and far (Guyana, Tanzania, Israel/Palestine, Pine Ridge, Texas, Milwaukee, and others) this coming January. We also invite you to read and share the blog and to join the conversation by way of comments on the posts.
May it all be for a blessing.
