Mission Projects for 2024
1st Quarter - LCMS National Offering
The purpose and goal of the 2023–2026 LCMS National Offering is to produce meaningful Lutheran resources in other languages so that all may read, hear and speak the Good News of Christ crucified. This triennium, support the translation and production of meaningful Lutheran resources in languages other than English through the LCMS National Offering.
Please keep in mind this important mission project through the first quarter. LCMS, states that “our commitment as LCMS congregations and workers is to walk together with the Word of God as our only guide for doctrine and practice.”
2nd Quarter - Help Support our Military
Our Mission
The mission of Operation Barnabas is to ignite a positive transformation in the lives of veterans and first responders through faith, action, and encouragement.
Our Vision
The vision of Operation Barnabas is to eliminate veteran homelessness, addiction, and suicide by acting strategically and timely to make veterans whole again. With one-to-one mentoring and meaningful, measurable, and manageable action steps, Operation Barnabas is a community for those seeking a hand up, not a hand out. We are seeking those ready for transformation and victory rather than regression and victimhood. Not everyone is ready.
We believe that God created all human beings in His image. Therefore, we believe that human life is sacred from conception to its natural end; that we must honor the physical and spiritual needs of all people; following Christ’s example, we believe that every person should be treated with love, dignity.
3RD QUARTER - POBLO International
Our Mission ~ To meet the physical, social, and spiritual needs of Muslims and other immigrants and refugees in the United States by sharing the love of Jesus in practical and culturally relevant ways.
POBLO International is a Christian mission organization working to transform the way missions are approached in the United States.
People Of The Book Lutheran Outreach (POBLO) International Ministries is a non-profit, Christian organization that is passionate about sharing the love of Jesus with Muslims and other immigrants and refugees living in the United States. Unlike in the past, American Christians do not have to go overseas to do mission work— the mission field is in our own front yard. Poblo International Ministries is responding to this change in demographics and revolutionizing the way the gospel is shared by engaging in cross-cultural missions and grassroots community outreach here in the United States and training and partnering with local churches.
In Wisconsin, POBLO missionary Ebou Faye engages in evangelism and community outreach among immigrants and refugees primarily from South Asia and North Africa. Ebou along with volunteers distributes food, clothing, and household items to at-need refugee families and provide refugee resettlement assistance. They also engage in street Evangelism and provide Bible studies and discipleship for new Christians.
4th Quarter - TBD
The fourth quarter mission project will be a little different. It was a hard decision as there is a lot of need in the world. Our decision is to break it up; in October we will forward donations to Winder, Georgia via Lutheran Church Charities and November and December donations will be sent to South Sudan through Lutheran World Relief. South Sudan is in great need: To give them hope, love, food and medical care.
