In August 2022 I received an invitation from Dr Wilfred John, director of the Lutheran Study Centre – Sabah, Malaysia, to teach at a conference with the theme, Lutheran Distinctives on Church, Ministry and Mission. Dr Wilfred is a former student at Australian Lutheran College (ALC) and a long-time friend of the LCA. The visit […]

Agape in name, nature and action

By Yap Pak Shun | 0 comment | Categories: Malaysia Sabah, Stamps for Mission

The Greek word agape describes a love that is pure, unselfish and unconditional. With the aspiration of reflecting this sacrificial love, the Basel Christian Church of Malaysia’s (BCCM) day care centre for children living with a disability bears this word in its name. Ms Yap Pak Shun, a member of the BCCM Central Education Board, […]

God’s PERFECT plan!

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. Upon the eventual arrival of our personal belongings to Logaweng (via Port Moresby and Lae) the number of packing boxes landing […]

Smiles again at Home of Praise

By Anne Storstein Haug | 0 comment | Categories: Volunteers and Supporters

After such a long time living life in isolation in Thailand, we are pleased that many people have now been, or are planning to get vaccinated and that the number of COVID-19 infected people is decreasing. The evening curfew which lasted for many months, now no longer applies. The schools have started to reopen, we […]

God does the impossible

By Debbie Borgas | 0 comment | Categories: Indonesia, Volunteers and Supporters

My husband Michael and I were very surprised to read an email from Abdi Sabda Seminary in Indonesia, requesting that ‘Michael and Debbie Borgas help us with our English Program online’. We had no idea how our names were chosen, aside from the fact that prior to COVID-19, we had been in some discussion to […]

Blessed to follow God’s lead

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

Be careful of barbecue conversations, because you never know where they might lead! Especially if you are newly retired and have an open mind about where God might be leading you. This was certainly true for retired Openbook Publishers (formerly Lutheran Publishing House) General Manager Warren Schirmer, 73, and his wife Marianne, 69, when they […]

135 years of gospel in PNG

By Pastor Giesa Panpan | 0 comment | Categories: Papua New Guinea, Volunteers and Supporters

Papua New Guinea (PNG) Christians have marked 135 years since the gospel of Jesus Christ first landed on the PNG mainland, introduced by Lutheran Pastor Johannes Flierl at Simbang Finschhafen, Morobe Province, on 12 July 1886. The written and oral histories of how the gospel spread are beyond imagination: crossing high mountains, fast-flowing rivers and […]

500,000 ways stamps make mission possible

By Peter Nitschke | 0 comment | Categories: Stamps for Mission, Stories

Stamps and missions have a lot in common. While one person or one activity may not be able to make much of a difference on their own, so it is with stamps. One stamp and one person may not be significant but many people collecting many stamps can make a great difference, in the support […]

Learning together in mission

By Rev Dr Dan Mueller | 0 comment | Categories: Papua New Guinea, Volunteers and Supporters

Most Friday mornings I hear a wonderful sound: the Skype ringtone. It announces that Pastor Hans Giegere is calling me for our weekly supervised reading session. From my office in Walla Walla, situated in the rural farming district of the Riverina New South Wales, I hear how Hans is going and we discuss an article […]

No Longer Strangers thanks to Acts of Kindness

By David Craig | 0 comment | Categories: Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, Thailand, Volunteers and Supporters

During our retirement, my wife Ruth and I have been blessed with good health and able to volunteer in a number of countries. In each case, there were new faces, a new language and a different culture. As strangers in foreign lands, we knew there would be challenges. But there were also many kindnesses. When […]
