Local Mission

This year’s Local Mission appeal focuses on developing our young adults in faith and leadership. Your donation will help us find and support the young adults in our midst, like Elsa and Joel, whom God is calling into service in the church.

Are you looking for ways to encourage others to get involved in prayer? Looking for ideas on how to pray? Or ways to teach prayer to children? The Grow Ministries GIFT Prayer resource offers resources to help us learn about the importance of prayer in our Christian lives.

Kate Traeger shares her experience of the LCANZ’s first churchwide Season of Prayer for church planting in 2019.

One theologian has described mission as being caught up in the ‘heartbeat of God’. One of the most important ways in which we’re drawn into God’s heartbeat is prayer.

Each year, the Local Mission department of the LCANZ facilitates a Season of Prayer, inviting and calling on congregations of the LCANZ to pray. This year, the Season of Prayer is scheduled for 10 to 24 September 2023, and the theme is ‘Lord, renew your church’.

The Messages of Hope featured in August include the topics of confidence, contentment, dementia, coping with changing and letting go of control.
