The Evangelical Lutheran Church in Thailand and their overseas partners
In your prayers this month you’re invited to pray for:
– the staff and students from SMA YP HKBP Pematangsiantar, Indonesia, who are visiting their partner school, Unity College, Murray Bridge, SA. Pray this exchange will deepen the relationship between these schools
– the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Thailand, as it begins a new season of leadership following the election of its church board, including Bishop Boonmee Jarupong and General Secretary Rev Chanda Saiyotha
– the partnership between Golden Grove Lutheran Church and Primary School, SA, and Ialibu Lutheran Primary School, Asaroka Lutheran Secondary School, and Gama Lutheran Day High School in Papua New Guinea, giving thanks for the relationships already formed and praying that more members may be encouraged to become involved and engaged in this shared journey of faith and learning
– St Jakobi Lutheran School, Lydnoch, SA and Faith Lutheran College – Junior Campus, Tanunda, SA, as students interview migrants to Australia. Pray they encounter living stories of courage, resilience, hope, and faith
– thanksgiving for the legacy of Wantok Place (a museum of Papua New Guinea artefacts) following its closure. Pray for provision as a suitable place is sought to store and display its artefacts, so that the stories, relationships, and witness they represent may continue to speak of God’s work through partnership across cultures and generations
– Lutheran Women of Australia, giving thanks for the ways their faithful prayer, generous financial support, and long-standing commitment to the mission of the church, continues to sustain God’s work globally
– the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Papua New Guinea Wok Meri Trening Schools, giving thanks for the way they equip women with practical skills for daily life, family wellbeing, and service in God’s church. Pray for the staff who accompany the women and create pathways of hope
