Food for Life

By Glenice Hartwich | 0 comment | Categories: Cambodia

The pond teaming with fish, and the lush green, productive vegetable garden belie the harsh realities of 63 year old Sok Simpli’s former life. The atrocities of the Pol Pot regime lie buried in her memory. The life which followed that torturous time brought hardships of other kinds. Living in the village of Krus and […]

Out of the slums comes hope

By Kendrea Rhodes | 0 comment | Categories: Thailand

‘I want them to get out of the slums’, said Muek. Cracked bitumen, obscured sky and rotting rubbish piled high. Shards of glass, skinny, hungry dogs, pollution and plastic bags circling overhead like birds of prey. This is their playground; the children of the Klong Toey slums in Bangkok. It is estimated that upwards of […]

Learning through Practical Partnerships

By Kendrea Rhodes | 0 comment | Categories: Indonesia, Schools

Partnership is one of the most important ingredients when working in mission. The Lutheran Church of Australia (LCA) has established relationships with overseas partner churches, and it is within these relationships that schools can strike up rewarding partnerships of their own. One such rewarding partnership exists between Navigator College, Port Lincoln, South Australia, and SMA […]

God’s love changes us

By Rev Dr William Chang | 0 comment | Categories: Cambodia, Sermons/Devotions

“’Love comes to life” in the church is the tag line for the celebration of 175 years of LCA’s mission. A tag line which I deeply appreciate and more than agree with. While it is true that “love comes to life” in the church through the preaching of the gospel and diaconal work, through which […]

A bowl of rice porridge

By Glenice Hartwich | 0 comment | Categories: Thailand

A bowl of rice porridge seems very different from the vast array of breakfast cereals that line the supermarket shelves of Australia and what our children and grandchildren enjoy for breakfast at the start of each new day. However, that bowl of rice porridge is enjoyed and eaten with much gusto by the little children […]

Bible Translation in Papua New Guinea

By Kendrea Rhodes | 0 comment | Categories: Bible Translation, Mission Workers, Papua New Guinea

Hanna Schulz is no stranger to the love of God, ‘disclipling’, languages, hardship and exploring.

Odd examples to just pluck from thin air, but in […]
