More than 1,300 LCANZ members and friends have stepped out on the footpaths, roads and tracks around Australia in this year’s ALWS Walk My Way events held to support children impacted by war and poverty. To date, approximately $190,000 has been raised to support more than 7,500 children.

Pastor Mark Schultz, the LCA’s Assistant to the Bishop – International Mission, has encouraged our Lutheran family in Australia and New Zealand to pray for the people of the earthquake-devastated Southeast Asian nation of Myanmar.

Hundreds of LCANZ members and friends have gathered to thank God for the 75th anniversary of Australian Lutheran World Service at the places where the church’s overseas aid and development agency had its beginnings.

To celebrate its 75th anniversary in 2025, ALWS aims to support 75,000 children from the world’s poorest communities with essentials such as food, schooling and safety. And you can help achieve this bold ministry goal by participating in or supporting a Walk My Way near you.

In August 2024, Australian Lutheran World Service asked the Australian Lutheran family to help build a 635-metre-long irrigation canal in Ethiopia. Thanks to the generosity of Lutherans here in Australia and the hard work of the community in Ethiopia, the taps were turned on in November.
