Love is Everywhere

By Debbie Dreckow | 0 comment | Categories: Cambodia, Malaysia Peninsula, Thailand, Volunteers and Supporters

It was an honour to be chosen by Lutheran Women Australia (LWA) to visit our partner churches with Glenice Hartwich, and later Kendrea Rhodes, on an amazing journey. During our time on this overseas partner church visit, we met many different inspiring, God-fearing, nurturing people of Jesus. We started off this remarkable journey in the […]

Plugged in! – The power of connection

By Kendrea Rhodes | 0 comment | Categories: Congregations, Malaysia Peninsula

The word ‘connect’ is bandied about like cardboard coffee cups – used too frequently and then thrown away, its value rarely appreciated. For, like the underrated cardboard cup, the word ‘connect’ contains something deliciously addictive. ‘Connect is all about relationships and all the potential that lies within them. To connect is to make contact, be […]

Light in the darkness

By Jayasingh Rajiah | 0 comment | Categories: Malaysia Peninsula, Volunteers and Supporters

A candle radiating light is depicted in the logo of Bethany Home, Malaysia. How apt this logo is for Bethany Home as the staff and residents of this unique place shine the love of Jesus Christ way beyond the boundary of Bethany, past the limits of the town of Teluk Intan where it is situated […]

Pray for me and my boys

By Glenice Hartwich | 0 comment | Categories: Malaysia Peninsula, Scholarships

A smile lights up Rosmah’s face as she sits in the office of the Vice Principal of Sabah Theological Seminary (STS) and shares her story. But her lips begin to tremble as she asks us to pray for her and her boys – Jimie and Joshua. Rosmah is one of the Orang Asli – indigenous […]

Precious Cargo

By Glenice Hartwich | 0 comment | Categories: Malaysia Peninsula

Despite the trying natural and man-made conditions around them, the Orang Asli people of Malaysia are finding hope, strength and love in the Messiah they have been introduced to. Water sprays along the side of the speeding boat as we travel toward the distant huts perched on the raised ledges of the islands in the […]

Holding Brokenness

By Emilie Traeger | 0 comment | Categories: Malaysia Peninsula, Volunteers and Supporters

Bethany Home in Malaysia is one of my most loved places. It’s a home to me. I first went there as a volunteer for the LCA in 2000/2001. I spent most of my time with two groups of children: in my physio class, and in Level 5 (12-13 year olds). Most of the physio students […]

A Pain!

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

My prayer for all of us who call ourselves Lutherans here in Australia is that we will all have “a pain in the gut”! Let me explain…I’m not a great theological scholar so when a pastor challenged me about my understanding of the word “compassion” I fumbled around with words such as “empathy”, “feeling sad […]

A place of hope

By Glenice Hartwich | 0 comment | Categories: Malaysia Peninsula

There are many words to describe the feelings you have when you visit, volunteer or work at Bethany Home in Malaysia, but for me the one word that is evident in the lives, in the words and on the faces of people, is ‘hope’. There can be a sense of hopelessness for many people struggling […]

Stamps for Mission: an update

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 […]

It is the work of the Holy Spirit.’ The LCA supports a variety of mission partnerships in Papua New Guinea (PNG), Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, Sabah, China and Cambodia. These include supporting theological education through scholarships, support […]
