Missionaries: Rev. James May and Dr. Phillip Giessler
LIA (Lutherans In Africa): In Africa, the lack of resources available for education, coupled with traditional beliefs and practices, leads to misunderstandings of the Living Word. From the congregational level to the national church body, an overwhelming need exists for basic doctrinal teaching for Lutheran pastors, evangelists, and deaconesses.
- To provide doctrinal resources in African languages, Rev. James May works with Lutheran Heritage Foundation to translate Good News magazines and key Lutheran texts into native languages in Africa.
- To help Lutheran teachers benefit from those resources, LIA supports Rev. May to teach workshops on Lutheran doctrine in 20 countries on the continent of Africa! LIA is also in the middle of a capital campaign to raise funds toward building a mission training center in Kenya.
LIA is supported by Lutheran congregations and individuals in America, Finland, and Australia. Please pray for this important ministry!
