Sharing Christ with Women and Children in Kazakhstan
2023–2025 Mission Grant 20 — $100,000
Lutheran Hour Ministries-Kazakhstan staff and volunteers distribute food packages to families living in extreme poverty in remote villages and share the love of Jesus.The mission of Lutheran Hour Ministries (LHM), based on the clear teaching of Scripture, is bringing Christ to the Nations and the Nations to the Church. The established LHM ministry center in Kazakhstan carries out Gospel outreach to a non-Christian country where many people are facing hardships and have limited opportunities to hear the Gospel.
LHM has identified opportunities to reach out and share the Good News with women and their families in urban areas and remote villages. Effective outreach methods have included Christian training programs, resources, and media that allow them to share the love of Jesus. Outreach through media and Christian discipleship materials allow families to hear God’s message of salvation in culturally appropriate ways.
This grant will support the powerful Christian witness of love to strengthen relationships, provide encouragement, and build faith in Jesus.

Expanding Gospel Outreach to Hispanics in U.S.
2023–2025 Mission Grant 22 — $100,000
The Sentido Latino weekly podcast is hosted by Rev. Luciano Vega-Ayala and Deaconess Noemi Guerra. The program addresses issues and values that directly impact U.S. Hispanics' family, spiritual, and community life.Hispanics have become the second largest ethnic population in the United States and Lutheran Hour Ministries (LHM) realizes that there are many opportunities to reach out with the Gospel using Christian resources that are available through media and outreach technology.
LHM is not simply translating English materials into Spanish, they are crafting programming, media content, and written materials for Hispanics by Hispanics. These are applicable to daily life in the American culture and help to spread the Gospel. Working with LCMS ministry leaders, churches, districts, universities, and seminaries, LHM has been able to reach out to more of the Hispanic population.
This grant will share God’s message of salvation with the Hispanic people through technology in their own language, which will help strengthen their faith and encourage them to seek to learn more about Jesus.
