The mission of the church has always been the faithful preservation of the means of grace to edify the church and to proclaim the Gospel to the world. Our work centers on people, speaking with them, preaching to them, teaching them, and having mercy for them. We invite you to partner with us in this work. Click on a project that interests you.

Project: Chile Mission

In the past 4 years the Chilean church has almost doubled in
size from 5 churches to 9. A new church plant in Santiago is
currently building a sanctuary and working towards putting
a school for people with disabilities on the same property.
Santiago itself is a city of over 6 million people, and multiple
other opportunities exist for planting even more churches
there. More pastors are needed.

Project: Belize Mission

The Lutheran Church Missouri Synod has had presence in Belize since 2002 when short term teams blessed a small fishing village on the Placencia peninsula in Southern Belize. The Belize Mission Society formed around these short term teams and continued to serve this diverse area through school scholarships, Bible schools, nutrition programs and mercy outreach. In response to requests from the Belize Mission Society, LCMS missionaries established a permanent presence in the country in June 2016, first working with contacts and relationships established by the Belize Mission Society.

Project: Alliance Missionary Sergio Maita

The Lord has blessed our young, growing Dominican Republic
Lutheran Mission (DRLM) with three congregations in the Santiago area,
the country’s second largest city. In the past, the mission has had to
juggle a schedule of often-traveling missionaries and guest pastors to
lead Word and Sacrament ministry. We did not have a pastor dedicated
to nurture these congregations through the preaching of the Gospel to an
ever expanding circle of people.
