By Rev Matt Anker | 0 comment | Categories: International Partners, Volunteers and Supporters

When I called on Lutheran pastors in Australia and New Zealand to support their brother pastors in the Philippines, the response was breathtaking. I had heard from President Antonio Reyes of the Lutheran Church in the Philippines (LCP) about the effect of COVID-19 church shutdowns, inadequate health facilities, isolation and the lack of a government […]

New life for an old resource

By Pastor Phanna Bun, Rev Matt Anker | 0 comment | Categories: Volunteers and Supporters

And he who was seated on the throne said, “Behold, I am making all things new.” (Revelation 21:5) As followers of Jesus, we are people of the resurrection, so it should not surprise us when God brings new life out of something that appears dead and forgotten. Yet every time it happens, we are amazed! […]

By Denise Grieshaber | 0 comment | Categories: Malaysia Sabah, Volunteers and Supporters

In September 2020, a much-anticipated seminar on the Augsburg Confession took place. But it was a very different event than the one originally planned. The Lutheran Study Centre in Sabah, Malaysia, last year asked LCA International Mission for assistance in staging a seminar on the Augsburg Confession. The resulting event was set for June 2020 […]

Teaming up for deeper understanding

By Graham Harms | 0 comment | Categories: Indonesia, Mission Workers, Volunteers and Supporters

It is common knowledge that Indonesia has the largest Muslim population of any country in the world.

By Pastor Michael Lockwood | 0 comment | Categories: Malaysia Peninsula, Mission Workers, Volunteers and Supporters

The Evangelical Lutheran Church in Malaysia (ELCM) is one of four Lutheran synods in Malaysia. Its focus is on working with the Tamil people of Peninsula (West) Malaysia.

Life – a journey worth embracing

By Helen Beringen | 0 comment | Categories: Mission Workers, Papua New Guinea, Volunteers and Supporters

Anyone who has willingly hiked 1100 kilometres has to love the journey. For 68-year-old Queenslander Anne Maczkowiack, walking the 800 kilometre Camino De Santiago trail across Spain was only a part of a post-retirement reward in 2014. She and husband Robert decided to add an extra 300 kilometres to start from Barcelona. That says something […]
