Teacher?  Yes, and so much more!  Teaching, equipping, guiding and empowering requires a tremendous amount of energy.  The Lord knows our tanks can so quickly run low.  Come for a refreshing reminder of the encouragement the Lord has for you, and through you, for others as you return to your fields of opportunity with Purpose Plus! 

David Rosenau thought he was on his career path during the five years he worked as an apprentice mortician and funeral director. Then life changed, and so did his career. He started as a deputy, working in the jail at a sheriff’s department; was promoted to detective, working narcotics and vice; and seven years later was promoted to detective sergeant, working homicide and violent crime. All along the Lord was guiding and equipping him to be the person and the pastor God is using him to be today.

God has grown the congregation Pastor Rosenau serves in Leesburg, Florida, from 60 members when he arrived in 2009 to more than 500 today. Many more watch an abbreviated service that he records specifically for YouTube each week. Congregations all over the country, both in and outside the WELS, have utilized the synod-produced Bible study based upon his keynote presentation at the 2020 Leadership Conference titled “One by One.” Salty Earth Pictures recently produced the motion picture One by One in hopes of sharing the encouragement of lives touched for eternity by each one of us, one by one. The movie has been shown by congregations all over the country and is available on DVD and streaming platforms for sharing worldwide.
