LCA Missionary Time-Line:
This timeline is a thank you and acknowledgement to the people from Lutheran Churches in Australia who served in mission overseas. The countless stories tell of the joys of serving and the many blessings our overseas brothers and sisters gave to us. The timeline is a work in progress. Contact LCA International Mission if you would like to contribute.
LCA Story of the Week:
Supporting LCANZ members serving in mission overseas is easier than ever, with LCA International Mission offering opportunities to connect with them via internet conferencing. In June, supporters ‘met’ with Bible translation advisor Hanna Schulz in PNG, while some months earlier 20 people also spent an evening online ‘in’ PNG, with seminary lecturer Mick Hauser.

Prayers for the Week
· For those in authority, such as Queen Elizabeth and her representatives; Prime Minister Scott Morrison and members of parliament; Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk and state parliamentarians; and Mayor Paul McVeigh and local councillors; that they may act wisely.
· For the Church, LCAQD; and its journey of faith in the wilderness of the world
· For the pastors Bishop John Henderson, District Bishop Paul Smith; Pastor Joel Pukallus and all pastors; for the body of Christ and the gifts of God for the building of the body
· For Luther Seminary, its lecturers, students, and staff
· For the continued dialogue between Christian denominations
· For the countries and communities that forbid Christianity, that they would open their hearts and eyes to the grace of God in Christ and allow his people to worship freely
· For the organisations that provide food for the hungry - local and worldwide
· For people who are without the basics (food, clothing, housing)
