Growing as a Christian in Cambodia

By Rev Touch KeovsreyLiak | 0 comment | Categories: Cambodia

Phum Krus is a small village in Cambodia, about a two-hour drive from the capital, Phnom Penh. The drive to Phum Krus means leaving the main highway to travel on uneven dirt roads and avoiding puddles made by recent thunderstorms. Village life greets you on arrival with cows chewing their cud near humble homes, the […]

Your Kingdom Come

By Hanna Schulz | 0 comment | Categories: Bible Translation, Mission Workers, Papua New Guinea

My go-to prayer in life is “Your kingdom come, your will be done.” I pray the first phrase as I breathe in, and the second phrase as I breath out. In doing so, I re-centre my thoughts on God, and away from myself, giving whatever is weighing me down back into the hands of God. […]

A Promise Forgotten…God’s Divine Appointment!

By Yuen Ho Tian | 0 comment | Categories: Mission Workers, Singapore

Prior to joining the International Lutheran Seafarers’ Mission (ILSM) I had been an oil trader and had worked in the oil and gas industry for more than twenty years. Before that I had spent about five years in the shipping industry, particularly in the container trade. Oil and shipping are like twin sisters, very closely […]

Taking steps of faith

By Audrey | 0 comment | Categories: Bible Translation

What is the most effective and most faithful way to discern God’s will for our lives?

What are you eating?

By Linda Macqueen | 0 comment | Categories: Sermons/Devotions

While we now, thank God, seem to be on the download curve in relation to Omicron, there is still a lingering sense of un-ease. The world as we knew it has not been returned to us, and we can feel – consciously or unconsciously – that we are living in an alien land. Everywhere we […]

Support for mission field challenges

By Mark and Lorene van Rossen | 0 comment | Categories: Mission Workers

Arriving in Papua New Guinea (PNG) with her husband and four children was all Sarah* hoped it would be. Within days, they were studying with other new arrivals in an orientation course and learning the local language and culture. Soon after, they were taken to the ‘village living’ component of their orientation training – four […]

Even dolls can tell of the love of God

By Rev Naoki Sugioka | 0 comment | Categories: Japan

When I was a missionary in Thailand, a Finnish missionary, Dr Lilja Kinnunen-Riipinen, taught drama at the Lutheran Institute of Theological Education in Bangkok. Every Lent, she directed a passion play – a drama of Jesus’ trial, suffering, and crucifixion performed by students and church members. One year, she had to cancel the play and was […]
