Dalam Yesus Kita Bersaudara

By Anne Collyer, Joel Cramer, Esther Kleinig, Michael Lang and Ariel Pfitzner | 0 comment | Categories: Malaysia Sabah, Volunteers and Supporters

What were our experiences in meeting young people and observing youth ministry in Sabah? We were challenged to learn new skills and build on established ones. We spent time with both the youth and their coordinators, sharing, through our translators, the similarities and differences between youth programs in Sabah and those in Victoria (eg Christian […]

I hated the word

By Pastor Wayne Zweck | 0 comment | Categories: Papua New Guinea

Growing up as a pastor’s kid had its advantages. When church dignitaries from the USA visited Australia, we got to meet them. When Nestlé introduced and sponsored instant coffee and Ideal Milk at the 1956 convention of Synod, we got to try it. When two Papua New Guineans came down with Missionary Keith Nagel, they […]

But I’ve Retired from Teaching!

By Julian Pfitzner | 0 comment | Categories: Indonesia, Volunteers and Supporters

This was one of the thoughts that first came to mind when Julian Pfitzner was asked to teach a three week English course for students at a seminary in Indonesia. Julian takes up the story… On 12 July, Glenice Hartwich asked me, if I and someone else, would be interested in taking a three week […]

Kicking goals with God

The soul of the port

By Rev W Strauss, Port Chaplain | 0 comment | Categories: Singapore

The International Lutheran Seafarers’ Mission (ILSM) has been an outreach program of the Lutheran Church in Singapore since 1991. The church took up the challenge and the call of our Lord when he said, “The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into […]

Giraffe in Singapore

By Rev Samuel Wang | 0 comment | Categories: Singapore

The LCA had previously invited the Lutheran Church in Singapore (LCS) to join Giraffe. So far we have sent five people over the last ten years. The last group that went was in 2006, when three young people attended Giraffe International. When they came back, they approached me about started a Giraffe in Singapore. So […]

Big Things in Henan

By Rev Wayne Zweck | 0 comment | Categories: Singapore

It’s an amazing thought: a country with fewer people than Sydney and a Lutheran Church smaller than the NSW district hearing God’s mission call to China. Mind you, if it comes to Singapore you expect it to be well thought through and well executed – and it is. The LCS decided to focus on Henan […]

Revolving Pigs in Church

By Glenice Hartwich | 0 comment | Categories: Indonesia

Men shuffled slowly into the church and sat on one side puffing on their cigarettes, while women and children sat on the other side staring back at me with wry smiles as I sat facing them from the front of the church. Together with the pastor of the Lumban Julu congregation and Pastor Rein Justin, […]

Hospitality, Hard Work and Passion

By Pastor Matthias Prenzler | 0 comment | Categories: Cambodia, Congregations
