International Mission

by Linda Macqueen

Myanmar Lutherans are pitching in to alleviate the impact of severe flooding, which has devastated regions of the country since the onset of the monsoon season. LCA International Mission is seeking urgent prayer and financial support from LCA/NZ members.

In the Lutheran mission fields of northern Thailand, new Christians like Pim are sharing Jesus with everyone who will listen.

Young Lutheran leaders are meeting for an intensive workshop in the Adelaide Hills this week, as part of the LCA/NZ’s Grow Leadership program. Please pray for the young people and leaders taking part.
