By Tracy Smith | 0 comment | Categories: Birthing Kits, Papua New Guinea

Due to COVID-19 and its various restrictions, the usual distribution of birthing kits to the Highlands, Momase, and Morobe regions by ELC-PNG Lutheran Health Services (LHS) has been halted over the past two years.

From shadows into Jesus’ glorious light

By Rev Matt Anker | 0 comment | Categories: Thailand

In a village where more than 95 per cent of people are baptised and actively involved in the life of the church, it would be easy for the local congregation to lose a sense of urgency about mission. But not so for the Lua people of Banden in Thailand’s Nan province. Knowing what it’s like […]

Day of Joy as the Lost Return Home

By Rev Naoki Sugioka | 0 comment | Categories: Japan

By Elsa Matthias | 0 comment | Categories: Congregations, Schools, Thailand

It is well known that the reformation started in 1517 by Martin Luther, but how did it end? Or has it? I am 22 years old, I work as a physiotherapist and am a member of Holy Trinity Lutheran Church Horsham in Victoria. For the past three years, I have been representing the youth of […]

Nomads no more, part 2

By Kristian Yanto | 0 comment | Categories: Indonesia

In the April 2019 edition of Border Crossings, we told the story of the mission of the Gereja Kristen Luther Indonesia (GKLI) church to the indigenous Sanak people in the jungles of North Sumatra.
