This project will provide continuing education seminars for pastors and deacons/esses serving in Central America. Project funding provides for transportation, room/board and materials for two theological seminars, held at the Mission Centre in Chinandega, Nicaragua, and led by LCC and LCMS pastors and theological professors.
I want to support the pastors and deacons/esses serving in Central America.
For the past few years, SELCU has requested that LCC assist them with supporting the ministry in the Bashtanka region. Since 2021, Rev. Yuri Timerkan has served the two congregations in this region, Bogomazy and Zeleny Yar, as well as two mission sites, Andreevka and Schevschenkovo. Rev. Timerkan, along with several members in the region, have also been very active in providing works of mercy to people in need.
I want to support ministry and missions in the Bashtanka Region, Ukraine.
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.
I want to support the pastor and his prison ministry in Ukraine.
This valuable ministry, provided at the churches by the deaconesses and pastors, offers tutoring in mathematics, Spanish, science, and, most importantly, lessons from the Word of God. Funding provides for after school care, help with schoolwork, and school supplies (uniforms & shoes).
I want to support education for children in Nicaragua.
$1.50 can provide a substantial and healthy meal for a child in any community in Nicaragua. There are groups of anywhere from 40 to 80 children in each of the Central American feeding programs where the children hear Bible studies and learn the Small Catechism. A deaconess and pastor lead the programs while the children are fed once or twice a week. The funding goal for the project has increased this year to allow even more children to access the program.
I want to support feeding for the children of Nicaragua.
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.
I want to support music training for children and youth.
This project will cover rental costs for the building where Pastor Retana holds services, Bible studies, and meets with congregational members. All mission resources, transportation, and stipend are covered as well. Currently, there are four young people from the congregation assisting with mission activities.
