The strong contingent of international guests to the 19th General Convention of Synod reflected the diverse partnerships the LCA has with Lutheran churches and bodies in other places.

A second chance

By Peter Nitschke | 0 comment | Categories: Papua New Guinea

Immanuel College is a self-help school designed to help grade six drop outs.

Agnes lives in the mountainous countryside of the Chimbu province in Papua New Guinea, in the shadows of the imposing Mount Wilhelm.

A Mission full of joy

By Stephen Hoffmann | 0 comment | Categories: Papua New Guinea

In 2007, I had what some may call the good fortune to be able to retire early from my chosen career as an accountant. At first it was fun – a gentleman of leisure no longer accountable for how he spent his time. But after about 18 months the gloss started to wear off; there […]

By Sarah Lush | 0 comment | Categories: Mission Workers, Papua New Guinea
