Children’s Christian education program

Children learn the basics of the Lutheran Christian faith.

Children learn the basics of the Lutheran Christian faith.

Deaconess Betty Retana, together with her husband, Pastor Edmundo, lead this program which gathers children weekly for special Bible story time, catechesis, fellowship, snacks and refreshment. This project funds basic needs such as a stipend for the deaconess, educational resources, Bibles, Catechisms, teaching resources and tools as well as helps with the cost of food and transportation for the children. Your gift of $500 per month can help fund the program.

I want to help support the outreach to children in Costa Rica.

South Asian Christian radio outreach

For many new Canadians, radio programs in Canada which reflect their language and culture are important. Knowing this, Javed Ahkter, a Lutheran Church-Canada pastor-in-training, developed and hosts a radio program called Hamd-O-Sanaa – Praise and Worship – which features a 20-minute Bible study, 20-minute topical discussion and 20 minutes of Christian music. This program reaches the ears of Pakistani, Hindi and Punjabi people who are also Muslim, Sikh or Hindu by faith. It also enjoys a strong Christian following among its listeners. In addition, the program can be heard in Pakistan and Iran.

I want to help support radio outreach to new Canadians.

Pastor Navrotskyy and family.

Pastor Navrotskyy and family.

Missionary Rev. Alexey Navrotskyy from Ukraine is equipping himself for service by learning more of God’s Word and Lutheran theology at Concordia Lutheran Seminary in Edmonton. He arrived in the fall of 2014 with his family with the goal of completing his theological education by 2016. With this type of education he can provide strong leadership in his church body in Ukraine and continue his missionary work for Lutheran Church–Canada. (This is carried forward from project #1403)

I want to help support Pastor Navrotskyy’s theological training in Canada.
