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.
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!

Brothers and sisters in Christ gathered in Rwanda.
After an initial visit from Rev. Dr. Glenn Schaeffer early in 2018, Beth Ammi Christian Fellowship Church and other Lutherans in Rwanda have invited Canadian Lutherans to return to help them train pastors, elders, and deacons/deaconesses through theological education and mentorship.
While this is not a Lutheran Church-Canada sponsored project, from time to time Concordia Lutheran Mission Society adopts special projects, which allow for exploratory work that falls outside of LCC’s mission areas.
We have set up a project, 1825 – Exploratory Mission to Provide Theological Education in Rwanda, to provide you with an opportunity for you to make a financial donation, with the goal of raising $7,000.00 so that two Canadian instructors can travel to Rwanda to teach a week-long course, to visit/preach in some of the churches, and to continue to build trust with the leaders of the churches related to the Beth Ammi Christian Fellowship Church and other Lutherans in Rwanda.

I want to support an exploratory visit to provide Lutheran theological education in Rwanda.
For additional information about the project, Dr. Schaeffer has provided a video.
This unique and local program reaches out to Urdu speaking people on the radio in the Greater Toronto Area, and around the world on the Internet.
I want to support this important outreach.
CLMS has committed to raising $5000 of the $9000 cost for the conference to be held in Winnipeg this year. Support the biennial event that has become a tremendous asset for cross-cultural missions and ministry in Canada.
I want to support the Intercultural Ministry Conference.
$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.
I want to support the children in the feeding program.
This new project will help lay people who are actively involved in their churches to receive leadership training to support their congregations. The average cost for a year’s worth of theological education and materials is $4000 CAD per student.
I want to support church worker training.
100 desks and chairs are needed to literally support the children attending feeding and educational programs throughout Nicaragua. Even a small contribution can make a big difference as $15 buys a chair and $35 a desk.
I want to support the children with new desks and chairs.
Funding is needed to ensure that the 60 children attending the program in 2018 will have the backpacks, notebooks, and educational resources that are included in the $120 USD cost to cover each child’s scholarship.
I want to support the education of children in Nicaragua.
