LCA INTERNATIONAL MISSION

LCA International Mission

About us

In Revelation 7, the Apostle John paints a glorious picture of heaven that embraces people 'from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages' (Revelation 7:9), joined together in praise of the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world. God has gifted the Lutheran Church of Australia (LCA) in ways that enable us to be part of his mission to bring this heavenly vision to reality as we partner together in mission with churches of our region.

To this end, LCA International Mission has responsibility for overseas mission and evangelism so that, through the work of the Holy Spirit and in partnership with others, we can bring the life-changing news of the gospel to people overseas and cross-culturally in Australia.

The Committee for International Mission serves as an advisory group in matters relating to international mission partnerships, and the department of LCA International Mission operates within the Office of the Bishop.

LCA International Mission is a ministry and mission of the LCA, which you support through your prayers and regular giving (offerings) in worship, as well as through congregational and school partnerships and serving as volunteers in mission overseas.

Through LCA International Mission, you are enabling Jesus’ love to come to life in the lives of many people across the borders of our country and particularly in our neighbour countries in Southeast Asia and the Pacific.

Visit our website
LOVE COMES TO LIFE when we join hands with international partners to take the good news of Jesus to people of every culture and language.

How we serve

LCA International Mission works through church-to-church relationships in order to provide sustainable and accountable partnerships in the gospel that respect the dignity of people and our partner churches. We approach these partnerships from the perspective of reciprocity and are always looking for ways our partners can help enhance the mission and ministry of the LCA at home.

Through LCA International Mission and working through these established partnerships with overseas churches, you enable people to hear the lifesaving good news of Jesus Christ. Through the proclamation of the word and the power of the Holy Spirit, people’s lives are changed from fear to peace and from darkness to light. Your partnership in the gospel has eternal consequences as people come to know Jesus and are baptised into the family of God.

Through LCA International Mission, you support our partners as they grow in their understanding of Lutheran theology through the provision of scholarships and lecturers, and the publication of Lutheran literature, enabling many more people to know the freedom of the gospel.

LCA International Mission serves you, as members of the church, to find opportunities to join in God’s mission in the world. Through the established relationships with overseas churches, LCA International Mission staff and volunteers are able to provide you with a wide variety of opportunities and the support you need to engage in congregational and school partnerships.

Through our Volunteers in Mission program, you have the opportunity to use your gifts to serve in a wide range of contexts within the ministries and mission of our overseas partner churches, building on the knowledge and support we have to offer you.

We would love you to invite us to come and hear the stories of God at work in and through you and your partnership in the LCA’s international mission as you pray, give, connect and go.
