Bishop Alexander Urchenko and other SELCU pastors attend the prison near Nikolaev where they visit and counsel inmates, lead Services of the Word, teach Bible studies, and provide formal catechism instruction. This ministry has received a great response from the prisoners, the prison administration, and even the government.

This valuable ministry, provided in 20 churches by the deaconesses and pastors, offers tutoring in mathematics, Spanish, science, and, most importantly, lessons from the Word of God.

The program provides disadvantaged children with nutritious meals in eight churches several times a week. Just $1.50 can provide a substantial and healthy meal for a child. The feeding stations have between 40 to 80 registered children attending in each of these churches. The children also hear Bible stories and participate in prayers and Christian singing.

This project provides instruction in guitar and keyboard for the youth in Costa Rica through weekly visits by the music instructor. Funding provides for instruments and sheet music. Similar to the Nicaraguan program, the goal is to enrich the edification of the church communities through enhanced music worship.

Rev. Dr. Somers has been faithfully serving as LCC’s primary Missionary-at-Large since 1994, both overseeing and serving our French Ministry in Quebec. There are currently mission congregations in Montreal, Quebec City, St-Jean-sur-Richelieu, and Sherbrooke. This ministry continues to produce theological and devotional resources used by French speaking Lutherans around the world. More recently, this ministry has partnered with the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Haiti to provide online theological education to seminary students in Haiti and other French speaking nations. To carry out this vital ministry and mission work, LCC financially supports our Missionary-at-Large, as well as the travel expenses and materials for this ministry.

For the past few years, CLTS student, Poya Zamani, a refugee from Afghanistan, has been doing outreach in the Niagara region while studying at the seminary. As a result of his outreach work, converts from various backgrounds have been catechized, baptized and have become members of our local congregations in the area. In order to support this important evangelism, LCC commissioned Poya to serve as an evangelist to the Niagara region. Poya currently serves under the oversight of the Mission Director and is locally supervised by the Circuit Counsellor.
I want to support Muslim community outreach in Niagara region.
Most of the church workers in our sister Church in Nicaragua cannot afford adequate medical care. For several years, LCC has provided financial assistance to our sister Church in Nicaragua to help cover the costs of urgent medical care and treatments for the pastors and deaconesses serving the Church. In order to continue to assist in this area, LCC has established a medical aid fund to support the church workers of ILSN.
I want to support medical care for pastors in Nicaragua.
