This year we have had the pleasure of both receiving visitors from and having staff, students and a parent travel to Cambodia. We were honoured to have two Lutheran pastors from Cambodia, Daniel Orn and Vannarith Chhim visit Pacific Lutheran College in August, as part of a trip sponsored by LCA International Mission.

Building the backbone

By Glenice Hartwich | 0 comment | Categories: Papua New Guinea

For several decades Lutheran women from Australia and other countries served in Papua New Guinea (PNG) training schools and as teachers in the districts and churches of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Papua New Guinea (ELCPNG). Mainly they were deaconesses, teachers or the wives of expatriate staff serving as missionaries. Many served in Meri Wok […]

‘We have proper light to work with them rather than using lamps or torches like before’… with these words Sister Roselyn Lote, Officer In Charge at the Tawa Health Centre (Lutheran Health Services) in the remote area in the Menyamya District of Papua New Guinea (PNG), shares her thanks to you for your gift to […]

Lutheran Women help to build foundations

By Glenice Hartwich | 0 comment | Categories: Indonesia, Scholarships

Building foundations might not necessarily be an activity on the calendar of the women’s fellowship meeting. And they may not easily make the connections to building relationships in Myanmar, Indonesia or Papua New Guinea each time they give, make, bake or buy something at the trading table at their Lutheran Women of Australia (LWA) meeting.

At Rumah Chrestus, a home in Malaysia for children who have been orphaned or abused, some of the littlies say that prayer is the best part of living there. That’s not surprising really, since Rumah Chrestus means Home of Christ, and the presence of the living Christ is strongly felt in this home, thanks to […]

By Tanna Mackenzie | 0 comment | Categories: Papua New Guinea

Have you ever returned to a location after 40 some years of absence? After receiving an invitation in the middle of last year, I was able to do that in September 2014.

Overflowing with Jesus

By Glenice Hartwich | 0 comment | Categories: Papua New Guinea

A long and colourful procession of Lutheran women, accompanied by men, children and young people, fills the air with joyful singing. Bystanders welcome them with cheers, and shower them with flower petals as they make their way to the assembly area. We are in the mountain region of Boana in Papua New Guinea, where women […]

Core principals

The LCA has identified the need to work with partner churches to develop capacity of individuals within each country of operation.

The National Committee of Lutheran World Federation in Indonesia is the […]

From my Journal

My eleventh visit to Deborah Orphanage in North Sumatra, was from 29 June to 19 August 2014. The Hulme family from Para Vista came to North Sumatra this year; Bruce, Sonia, five children from twelve to four, and Sonia’s cousin, Vicki Sumner. They were definitely the right people for the venture, culturally sensitive, ready to […]

A holy unsettling

By Bruce and Sonia Hulme (with Jemimah, Josiah, Toby, Micah and Noah) | 0 comment | Categories: Indonesia, Volunteers and Supporters

Our family’s growing cross-cultural awareness and engagement took a big step forwards in July. Together with Sonia’s cousin Vicki, we spent two weeks at Panti Asuhan (literally, ‘house of help’) Debora in northern Sumatra, Indonesia. LCA volunteer Rosemary Winderlich took us all under her wing—no small feat with five children aged between four and twelve! […]
