Project: Abundant Life

The Abundant Life Project (John 10:10) is an effort by the Latin America and Caribbean Region of LCMS International Mission to respond to life issues around Latin America. This is a region-wide effort to provide Spanish-language materials and resources, encourage life-affirming conversations, and stimulate a response in mercy for a variety of life topics and issues. Lutherans around Latin America have identified five topics to prioritize: marriage and family, homosexuality, abortion, gender issues, and health.
