Each month we have a special “Mission of the Month” that we support through our missions designation on our offering envelopes and through the special mission of the month box by the offering plates. During February, we will be supporting the work of Lutheran Hour Ministries. As is noted on their website, “Lutheran Hour Ministries began at the grassroots level as the Lutheran Laymen’s League, a group of 12 laypeople who came together to support the church in word and deed. What began with 12 has become a movement of tens of thousands of volunteers and supporters around the globe. In 1930, ‘There is a God’ were the first words spoken on The Lutheran Hour radio program broadcast over the airwaves to thousands of listeners. Today people around the world experience the Gospel through LHM programs, services, or materials nearly 235 million times each week. Our first Ministry Center opened its doors in the Philippines in 1940; today we are able to spread the Good News of Jesus Christ to over 60 countries through our ministry centers on 6 continents. With our unique missionary model of employing only indigenous staff, Lutheran Hour Ministries is able to work within the language and culture to communicate the Gospel in the context of the local region. For over 100 years, God has used Lutheran Hour Ministries to bring the changeless Christ to a changing world. The communication methods have shifted, but the message has remained the same.” You can learn more at https://www.lhm.org. What a great opportunity for us to help bring Christ to the nations, and the nations to the church.
