Supported by the LCA Local Mission Fund, St James Lutheran Church Hervey Bay’s JAM Kids is a flourishing ministry in which young people are growing in faith and discovering their gifts.

Earlier this year, Australian Lutheran World Service (ALWS) set an ambitious goal of protecting 1,000 girls from child marriage in Africa by raising funds through its PRECIOUS campaign. Not only was the target reached by late April, but the PRECIOUS campaign now supports 3000 girls!

St Petri Lutheran Church’s ‘Reading Revelation Today’ teaching series is off to a flying start with more than 80 people attending on the first night.

Do you wish that your congregation or church group could step out in faith and step into Spirit-led mission? If your answer is ‘yes’, then the next EMMY gathering could be for you.
