Theological Books Needed for ELC PNG Seminaries

Books will be distributed to Evangelical Lutheran Church of Papua New Guinea Seminaries, where students and lecturers greatly appreciate any resources that support their study, teaching, and ministry.

To donate books or have questions about suitability, please contact: Erin Kerber – erin.kerber@lca.org.au

The donated books need to be delivered by Thursday, 30 April.

LCA International Mission will soon be shipping a container with birthing kits to Papua New Guinea, and we currently have additional space available.

If you have theological books in good condition (commentaries, biblical studies, pastoral care resources, worship and liturgy references, concordances, academic texts, or other solid Lutheran/Christian theology titles) we would love to include them.

Have you ever received any emails, which say they were sent by Pastor Paul, Pastor Brian, Pastor Jim or others in leadership? They are still being sent and we would like to do a little deeper investigating. Please let Elaine at The Hub know if you have received one.
