0 comment | Categories: Scholarships

What if the best place to train church leaders is not in a distant seminary, but in the very communities where they’re already serving? For Garuna Ministries founder Rev Jeff Ehlers, this conviction has shaped years of work alongside Lutheran churches across Southeast Asia. Rather than bringing pastors and church leaders to Western countries for […]

Equipping Leaders for Mission

0 comment | Categories: Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, Scholarships

Across Southeast Asia and beyond, Lutheran churches continue to grow in number, confidence, and responsibility. With this growth comes a pressing need for ongoing theological formation that supports pastors, deaconesses, teachers, and lay leaders well beyond their initial training, many of whom serve faithfully in complex cultural, social, and pastoral contexts with limited access to […]

The blessing of scholarships

By Rev Matt Anker | 0 comment | Categories: Papua New Guinea, Scholarships

Most people are not overly excited at the prospect of supporting scholarships for international partner churches.
