Matuor Alier

Headshots done for Living Lutheran Magazine

Back in late September, I was approached by Living Lutheran Magazine to do a photoshoot for an editorial spread. As it turns out, it was for their ongoing series titled I’m a Lutheran. For those who don’t know, this is a series that interviews ELCA members from around the country sharing powerful testimonies of faith. Enter, Matuor Alier.

Matuor is a social worker for Cass County, ND. He attends First Sudanese Lutheran Church and serves on the Eastern North Dakota Synod Council. He has had an incredible walk of faith and has shared his story with us. If you’re in need of some inspiration from someone who has shown an astonishing amount of resilience, compassion, and strength – please take a moment to read this article.
