Asia
Go therefore and make disciples of all nations...

Asia
Through the Word of God and the Sacraments, God calls, gathers, enlightens, and sanctifies his people. In the Asia region, we work to train pastors, church leaders, and laity to share this Gospel in word and deed. We also work with partners all over Asia to plant churches, show mercy, and provide Lutheran education. As we point to Christ, the Holy Spirit gathers together God’s called people into churches all over the region to encourage and build them up in this faith we have received. We look forward to partnering with you to share the Gospel here in Asia.

![Holy Gospel Luke 20:27–40
27There came to [Jesus] some Sadducees, those who deny that there is a resurrection, 28and they asked him a question, saying, “Teacher, Moses wrote for us that if a man’s brother dies, having a wife but no children, the man must take the widow and raise up offspring for his brother. 29Now there were seven brothers. The first took a wife, and died without children. 30And the second 31and the third took her, and likewise all seven left no children and died. 32Afterward the woman also died. 33In the resurrection, therefore, whose wife will the woman be? For the seven had her as wife.” 34And Jesus said to them, “The sons of this age marry and are given in marriage, 35but those who are considered worthy to attain to that age and to the resurrection from the dead neither marry nor are given in marriage, 36for they cannot die anymore, because they are equal to angels and are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection. 37But that the dead are raised, even Moses showed, in the passage about the bush, where he calls the Lord the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob. 38Now he is not God of the dead, but of the living, for all live to him.” 39Then some of the scribes answered, “Teacher, you have spoken well.” 40For they no longer dared to ask him any question.

Living God, Your almighty power is made known chiefly in showing mercy and pity.
