Mission of the Month – January 2020 – Lutheran Heritage Foundation

Around the world, the call is the same. From Sudan and Vietnam, from Argentina and Siberia, from India and China…“We need good Lutheran books! We want to learn more about the true God.” For 25 years, the Lutheran Heritage Foundation (a recognized service organization of the Lutheran Church – Missouri Synod) has been answering calls like this. In Muslim strongholds like Afghanistan and Somalia, LHF-published pamphlets that proclaim the Gospel are the secret, prized possessions that sustain Christians, whose lives are threatened for their faith in Jesus Christ. In Buddhist countries like Thailand and Cambodia, young Christians struggle to understand new concepts like original sin and the power of baptism. Luther’s Small Catechism, translated into their own languages, brings joy with understanding. The number of voices calling for help is ever-increasing. In more than 80 countries and 100 languages, thousands of people have come to faith in Christ because they’ve been able to read books like The Good News About Jesus or Luther’s Small Catechism in their own languages. LHF has published the catechism in more than 80 languages with dozens more requested. In the past decade, LHF has published and distributed over 1,000 titles and 3 million Lutheran books to pastors, seminary students, missionaries and churches – all at no cost to them.
