In this edition of FiRE we focus on walking by faith in our own lives and stepping out in mission trips to Asia and beyond. Read about the challenges and God’s plans for the Youth Development Centre, Thailand, Rising persecution in Nepal, Ministry development in Myanmar, Proposed outreach in Bhutan, Ministry outreach with radios in Vietnam, recent graduates from the Life Promotion Centre in Laos, and mission trips to Thailand and Indonesia
In this edition there is a focus on our African connections in Kenya, South Sudan and Liberia, each with their own unique challenges. Also included are stories from Vietnam, Nepal, Laos and Myanmar.
Thank you to the very generous sponsors of our beautiful students at the Life Promotion Centre in Laos. Here is an an update of what is happening at the centre:
In July our students travelled back home to their villages in the provinces They are always very welcome at home and soon take part in general farming duties, a vast difference to their lives at the centre.
The latest FiRE newsletter is now available and contains stories about the cutting edge of mission in Nepal, Team Australia leaving a mark in Africa, the amazing story continues in Vietnam, updates on the Sumatra school project and a wrap up of AFA’s mission in 14 countries.
2018 was as eventful, wonderful as well as stressful as every other year if not more so – with plenty of drama and pain mixed in as well. Overall the number of donors and interest in AFA keeps growing. But like the LCA itself, we are also suffering from the effects of a declining church as people age and die or join other churches and stop to support Lutheran-based mission work.
What you see here is all they've got except for a few things in a cupboard, but in one way they are rich: they want to bring Christ to the nation!
