By Glenice Hartwich | 0 comment | Categories: Scholarships, Thailand

The transforming power of God is truly evident in the life of the newly elected bishop of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Thailand (ELCT). On Friday the 1st April 2011 at the General Assembly of the ELCT in Bangkok, Rev Dr Banjob Kusawadee was installed (for a new and second time!) as the Bishop of […]

Home of Praise says: Thanks!

By Anne Storstein Haug | 0 comment | Categories: Thailand

To the Lutheran Church of Australia, We in Home of Praise want to thank you for your support. The parents only pay 10 baht each to send their children to the nursery so we need a lot of support from outside to be able to keep it running. At the moment, 35 children from 6 […]

amazing grace

By Sara Ironside | 0 comment | Categories: Congregations, Thailand

‘My name is Minh and I am 38 years old’, says the man sitting across from me. He smiles a broad and bright grin, his teeth white against the deep darkness of the night in the mountain village of Ban Den. I sit with three other girls on the cold concrete floor listening intently as […]

Getting to know the Lua people

A Pain!

My prayer for all of us who call ourselves Lutherans here in Australia is that we will all have “a pain in the gut”!

Each New Day

By Glenice Hartwich | 0 comment | Categories: Thailand, Volunteers and Supporters

Children living in the Bangkok’s largest slum in the Klong Toey district experience the fresh blessings of God’s love each new day as they arrive at Home of Praise. Discarded cardboard boxes, splintering plywood, rusting and battered sheets of corrugated iron and plastic wrapping mix with walls of mould covered bricks and mortar to provide […]

By Glenice Hartwich | 0 comment | Categories: Indonesia, Malaysia Peninsula, Papua New Guinea, Singapore, Stamps for Mission, Thailand

Most of us know about this innovative mission, where used stamps are cleaned, sorted and sold for the best prices, usually ending up overseas. Rita Seidel, a stamp receiver in South Australia, has been saving, cleaning, sorting and packing stamps since she was 15 years old. She is now 86. ‘For some years we have […]
