Birthing Cry (Advent) - Sunday, December 10
With each birth, there is wonder and mystery. Who is this tiny new person and what shall he or she become? What joys and sorrows lie ahead for each new one as they start the journey of life? What ways will God use to bless them and others through them?
Message of Light (Advent) - Thursday, December 7
Advent is such a powerful time to tell the story - the story of light coming into the darkness and overcoming it (John 1:5). It is the time when we celebrate our Savior's birth and look forward to His second coming. He is the true light, which enlightens everyone and has come into the world (John 1:9). This is the story many Native people need to hear.
The Changing of Seasons Means a Shift in Tasks
The mission work LIM does in Alaska is unlike anything we see in the lower 48 states. The sheer size of the state and distance between villages makes it hard to help everyone, so the Sternbecks use volunteers whenever possible.
Official Welcome to Carissa!
Please join me in welcoming Carissa to LIM and keep her in your prayers as she begins this new chapter in her life.
Welcome, Carissa!
Lutheran Indian Ministries is excited to announce the newest member of our ministry staff, Carissa Wittig!
It's all about relationships and Jesus
Through our core of volunteers and the ministry staff who served before us, and through you, our faithful partner in ministry, we are seeing God work in the lives of the children, teens, adults and elders in these villages and lives are being changed in service to God and His Kingdom!
Thank You, Stranger
Thank you, Stranger.
I don't know who you are, but I know that without your prayers and donations to Lutheran Indian Ministries, I would not be where I am today. I know that you are the one who allows LIM's ministry staff to work all over the country to help Native people, of all nations, learn about the love and mercy and faithfulness of our Heavenly Father and the salvation we have through his Son, Jesus. Your support helps Native people, as a whole, to spring forward into God's glorious light.
So, thank you! And even though I don't know you, Stranger, I consider you my friend.
Reflections on Rural Alaska: A Volunteer Diary
The village was still asleep when our plane landed and we loaded up our gear. I stood on the edge of the airstrip looking at the mountains and river and quiet houses around me.
I suppose my story is not unique from anyone else’s.
Every missionary has their story of falling in love with the people and the heartbreak of when they must leave.
A Father's Love: Fifth Sunday in Lent, April 2
Father, because of our sinful nature, we will always remain like a helpless infant, unable to correct our condition apart from your intervention. Thank you for sending your Son, Jesus, who was willing to rescue us from eternal damnation and separation from you and help me to lead others to the cross. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
