Missionary Rev. Suchat Chujit, Thailand

1319

Pastor Chujit (centre) and members of his congregation welcome visitors.

This is a challenging country for a Christian missionary. There is much outreach that must be done. We work in the southern province of Phang-nga in the region of Takuapa.

Besides the ministry in the local churches, Pastor Suchat Chujit visits mission stations and holds Bible studies. In a country where the Christians are less than 2% of the population, many people need to hear the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The pastor travels much of the time, speaking to people about Jesus, holding Bible studies and visiting members.

A gift toward this mission activity will help support the costs of workers’ stipends and transportation, utilities and worship material.

God is blessing the proclamation of His Word in Thailand. A mission station in Takuapa needs a place in which to worship. Bringing believers together as one family under one roof creates fellowship and unity. The strength of this unity draws others to hear of His Saving Grace. The church in Thailand cannot afford a building in Takuapa so it must rent space.

South Asian Ministry Radio Program

1323Javed Ahkter is a PAT student of Lutheran Church-Canada. For many new Canadians, radio programs in Canada which reflect their language and culture are important. Knowing this, Javed developed 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 support this unique radio outreach (#1404) $5,000

Pastors with Alternate Training Program

1322Men coming to Canada from India, Africa, Central America, and Madagascar want to share their Christian faith with, and serve their cultural communities. Each is enrolled in Lutheran Church – Canada’s Pastors with Alternate Training (PAT) program where they learn God’s Word, Lutheran theology and practical ways to share the Good News. Each studies with a mentor, however a national conference allows them to study together and learn from each other. The goal is to bring the love of Christ into their own cultural context and communities.

This project assists the PAT program students with books and teaching resources, seminars, travel and a small stipend.
