Minute for Mission

When faced with a major life-changing circumstance, a man in his 30′s committed to raising $120,000 toward a primary school building in India. He and his wife, along with their three children, have saved diligently for three years. LPGM is coordinating the next steps to make this school building a reality and the plans are taking shape. God is using this family in incredible ways because they have heard the call and have taken action. Is God calling you to act boldly? Perhaps you or your church can partner with this family and the Arcot Lutheran Church on a related project that is necessary to complete the building. Read more here: Saron Privacy Wall

Minute for Mission

The United Evangelical Lutheran Church in Argentina and Uruguay (IELU) held its 52nd General Assembly on April 21 and 22 at the Instituto Universitario ISEDET in the city of Buenos Aires. The theme of the assembly was “They broke bread . . . and shared the food with joy and great simplicity of heart.” Taken from the Gospels, the slogan conveys the image of the bread as a comprehensive understanding of Jesus Christ in our world as an integral support of all creation and also the community. Closing worship was held Sunday, April 22, in Cross of Christ Lutheran Church in the city of Buenos Aires. Bishop Susan Johnson of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Canada (ELCIC) led the worship.

The assembly elected Pastor Gustavo Gomez, 42, as its new president, replacing Pastor Alan Eldrid. LPGM has worked with Pastor Gustavo Gomez since 2005. He has been the pastor of a partner congregation in Comodoro Rivadavia and collaborated in a recent Patagonia partnership. We look forward to working with him in his new role. Please pray for our brothers and sisters in Argentina and Uruguay.
