The sights and sounds of Synod in Papua New Guinea

By Bishop David Altus | 0 comment | Categories: Papua New Guinea, Volunteers and Supporters

‘The sound of random groups singing from huts on the hillside, drums beating, the generator that kicked in for limited hours of power, heavy rain each night, and a pig outside my window, put me to sleep each night’. In 12 January 2020, Bishop David Altus represented the LCA at the Synod of the Evangelical […]

Love that offers hope

By Nipaporn Kunaruk and Anne Storstein Haug | 0 comment | Categories: Thailand, Volunteers and Supporters

It reads like a classic love story. It’s a story that is repeated in countries all around the world, in wealthy communities and poor communities, in families that don’t know Jesus and in families in love with Jesus. Mim is 24 years old and she comes from the beautiful countryside in Thailand. An only child […]

Teaching ‘Christology’ at STT

By Dr Greg Lockwood | 0 comment | Categories: Indonesia, Volunteers and Supporters

It was my joy and privilege to spend two weeks with the staff and students at Sihabonghabong. Soon after our course was underway, one of the girls called me ‘Grandpa’ and this rapidly took off. In response I called them my ‘cucu’ (choo-choo), my grandchildren. This was typical of the affectionate way I was welcomed […]

From Australia to Singapore – the Spirit lives

By Rev Dr Noel Due | 0 comment | Categories: Mission Workers, Singapore, Volunteers and Supporters

In October 2019 I travelled to Singapore to offer a teaching seminar for pastors and church workers of the Lutheran Church in Singapore (LCS). The seminar was on the Person and work of the Spirit in mission, and was based on some of the material in a new book ‘Spirit Filled: Normal Christian Living’ (written […]

Terima kasih for the joy of teaching

By Dr Greg Lockwood | 0 comment | Categories: Malaysia Sabah, Volunteers and Supporters

The first Bahasa word I learned during my visit to Borneo was ‘awas’ meaning ‘watch out’. I saw it again and again on signs along the highway of the island’s north coast, warning of impending dangers. Sometimes, when there is an especially sharp turn, or rise or dip in the road, ‘awas’ is preceded with […]

Myanmar calling

By Ian Kluge | 0 comment | Categories: Myanmar, Volunteers and Supporters

Since 2007, Dianne and I have been involved with Myanmar mission work, having travelled there quite a number of times now. In early September 2019 we arrived in Myanmar and spent five weeks doing volunteer work. On the night we arrived, I went to bed and prayed to God, as I was feeling overwhelmed and […]

Growing on the world stage

By Elsa Matthias | 0 comment | Categories: Indonesia, Mission Workers, Volunteers and Supporters

Just over 500 years ago something happened. Many would say this something was the Reformation but I beg to disagree. Just over 500 years ago, a man realised that something was not quite right in the church and decided to do something about it. The Reformation led to the church we know today. I have […]

Experiencing a little slice of heaven

By John and Mal Morgan, Mandy Bruce | 0 comment | Categories: Indonesia, Volunteers and Supporters

John and I have taught at the Bibel Frau for four years and each time we feel as though we are experiencing a little slice of heaven and unconditional love. Two students are assigned to look after us. As well as clean our house, they cook and bring over a variety of delicious healthy meals […]

Learning and growing together in Nias

By Raymond Winterfield | 0 comment | Categories: Indonesia, Volunteers and Supporters

In July to August, three LCA International Mission volunteers travelled to the isolated island of Nias, Indonesia. Under the guidance of LCA International Mission and in cooperation with KN-LWF, we participated in a month long volunteer program of teaching English. This experience contributed to the growing relationships between various Lutheran-oriented Christian churches within Indonesia. We […]

Growing young leaders

By Vicki Rochow | 0 comment | Categories: Myanmar, Volunteers and Supporters

Where have all the young people gone? I wonder whether this is the wrong question to ask. Imagine a farmer standing arms folded and asking, ‘Who didn’t shut the gate?’, while watching his sheep flee up the road and onto the highway. Would he not instead close the gate to protect the sheep still in […]
