Partnership in Christ

By Pastor Ben Hentschke | 0 comment | Categories: Congregations, Myanmar

A partner is a pair of people engaged in the same activity. ‘Partnership’ is, therefore, the perfect descriptor for what the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Myanmar and Ipswich Lutheran Church have established, as together we are engaging in the same activity: knowing Christ and making Christ known. Our partnership is entering its third year and […]

Living out their Christian calling

By Anne Maczkowiack | 0 comment | Categories: Papua New Guinea, Schools, Volunteers and Supporters

Life has many twists and turns, and as I recently discovered, even U-turns. In 1986 we left Papua New Guinea after 7 years, during which time my husband worked in the Yangpela Didiman (agricultural) program. The PNG chapter of our lives seemed closed. Thus, it was a great surprise in 2018 when I was approached […]

Church on Mission

By Pastor Ben Hentschke | 0 comment | Categories: Sermons/Devotions

Many of us have seen movies, and if you haven’t watched Avengers Infinity: Endgame – spoiler alert, there is one in there as well – where before a battle, or someone dies, or at that important point in the movie, someone gives a motivational talk, a bold speech, words of encouragement, words of truth, words […]

What would you miss if your house burned down?

One day, a lady from a small nearby language group, called the Kambaira (kam-BY-ra) people, came into the Summer Institute of Linguistics Papua New Guinea (PNG) Office, with her granddaughter.

Leap of faith changes lives

By Chris Sumner | 0 comment | Categories: Congregations, Thailand

I was part of a group of five people from three Adelaide Hills Lutheran churches which recently visited the Nan district in northern Thailand. Our mission was to construct a hothouse on the church farm with evangelists from surrounding villages. The sale of the produce from the hothouse will provide income to support the training […]

By Craig Chidgey | 0 comment | Categories: Indonesia, Schools

Have you ever considered what education is like in other parts of the world? What would a classroom full of students look like in Kenya, Finland, India, Brazil or Indonesia?

Living under the new covenant

By Martin Oldfield | 0 comment | Categories: Sermons/Devotions

Exodus 21:23-25 But if there is serious injury, you are to take life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, burn for burn, wound for wound, bruise for bruise.

To speak or not to speak?

By Rev Matt Anker | 0 comment | Categories: Bible Studies
