Street Ministry Outreach in Regina

Rev. Jacob Quast, Domestic Mission Director and Rev. DJ Kim Street Chaplain

Reaching out with the Gospel to those on the streets is a daunting task. LCC has been blessed to have Missionary-at-Large, Rev. DJ Kim, serve as street reach chaplain in Regina. He has described the police car he uses as a “mobile church” in which he is able to reach out with both God’s Law and Gospel to many young people associated with gangs and/or criminal activities. The time he spends with members of Regina’s police force also enables him to care for those first responders who regularly face tremendous evil and heartache. Rev. Kim is uniquely situated to share the life-giving and life-changing Gospel to all these individuals, and has witnessed the Holy Spirit touch many lives through the Word that is proclaimed. LCC is truly blessed to have such a dedicated and gifted servant of the Word providing this vital ministry to those in need in Regina.

I want to support troubled youth and young adults in Regina.

French Ministry & Mission Support, Canada

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.

I want to support Rev. Somers in Quebec.

Lay Evangelist Support, Niagara Region

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.

WECLO UPDATE

New Online Bible Study

Lay missionary, Javed Khan, shared that in 2020 the Chinese church started hosting online Bible classes. These classes were originally limited to a Bible reading and prayer but have now grown to be a more discussion based study. Questions, along with Bible references, are sent out ahead of time in English and Mandarin. Attendees are then encouraged to read, research, and prepare for an engaging online discussion. The Bible Study has so far been very successful!

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.
