Prayer is a vital part of engagement in God’s mission. Through prayer, we hear God’s voice, and he helps us to see people and situations the way he does.
Since August 2022, LCA International Mission has hosted an online prayer gathering on the last Tuesday of each month between February and November at noon ACST.
Each month, a different ministry/partner is asked to be involved. The session starts with a 15-minute presentation in which the ministry/partner informs those online about their ministry/themselves before those gathered pray for them and/or the ministry.
Join our overseas partners
You are invited to join God’s mission by praying for (and with) our partners in mission at these online sessions. On 24 June, participants will pray for ELCM ministry in Zewkana, Myanmar.
Starting times: 9.30am (WA), 11am (NT), 11.30am (Qld), noon (SA), 12.30pm (Vic, NSW, ACT, Tas), 2.30pm (NZ)

This June, you’re invited to partner with Lutheran Media in multiplying hope.
Lutheran Media relies solely on donations and sponsorships, and it needs your help to continue the legacy of hope. Your support can help Lutheran Media to continue producing and sharing gospel resources that offer hope where it’s needed most. Every donation extends the reach of God’s love, helping people see that they are never alone.
In a world where grief, loneliness and uncertainty often weigh heavily, your support helps Lutheran Media share life-changing messages of faith and comfort. Lutheran Media’s June appeal tells the story of Marlene Schubert – a woman whose legacy of faith continues to inspire – and how a simple booklet brought her family peace during their grief.
Read Lutheran Media’s 2024 Impact Report to see how it has reached people across multiple media platforms, sharing ‘Messages of hope’ through podcasts, resources, booklets, videos and more.
Journeys – navigating the winding paths of life
This month, Lutheran Media has shared an inspiring podcast, ‘Journeys – navigating the winding paths of life’. Meeting with a group of young adults at a camp earlier in the year, Jo Chamberlain from Lutheran Media asked the group about the journeys they have been on and what inspires them for their future. Hear stories of God’s companionship as their source of hope and how they have navigated challenging and sometimes painful experiences with deep trust and faith in God. Visit messagesofhope.org.au/journeys-path-of-life to listen to the podcast.

The changing landscape – figuratively and literally – heralds a new era for the college and the church it serves, says Dr Merryn Ruwoldt.
