Through LCA International Mission, the community of Good Shepherd Lutheran College at Howard Springs, Northern Territory, has formed a strong partnership with Bethany Home in Malaysia.

The LCANZ has a long-standing relationship with the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Malaysia (ELCM) through LCA International Mission. One of the ways the ELCM serves its community is through the Women’s Care & Counselling Centre.

Rev Steven Lawrence was consecrated as the fifth Bishop of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Malaysia (ELCM), a partner church of the LCA/NZ, on 4 July. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the service of consecration was re-designed, as the church sought to meet the new requirement of local authorities.

The LCA’s Stamps for Mission project has raised nearly $447,000 and all proceeds are donated to LCA International Mission programs and projects.
