ST. LOUIS, Aug. 23, 2012—The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod (LCMS) will launch a new, free, bimonthly publication called Lutherans Engage the World in September 2012. The magazine will offer a complete picture of how the LCMS, through its various national and international ministries, is reaching the world with the Gospel of Jesus Christ through works of witness and mercy.

The new magazine will combine the content of three former LCMS publications — Sharing, Caring and Harvest News — into one informative and inspiring magazine.

“By combining three publications into one, we will be able to provide readers a cost-effective way of communicating what all of us, by God’s grace, are able to accomplish together as the Synod,” said Deaconess Pamela Nielsen, the magazine’s managing editor. “We are delighted to be able to share the many wonderful stories of Witness, Mercy and Life Together from across the church in this new magazine, and we invite our readers’ involvement, feedback and prayers as we launch.”

Lutherans Engage the World will show how the church:

  • Engages in global mission outreach
  • Plants new churches and revitalizes existing congregations
  • Responds to disasters domestically and internationally
  • Supports its partner churches and affiliated entities around the world
  • Provides and sustains Lutheran education
  • Ministers to the men and women serving in the Armed Forces
  • Supports theological education in Lutheran seminaries around the world
  • Provides programs and services for youth and family ministry
  • Cares for those in need at home and abroad

The magazine will be mailed to those who contribute to the global mission work (witness and mercy) of the LCMS and to its rostered church workers, missionaries and missionary alumni. It also will be available online.

The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod Inc., including Mission Central (in Mapleton, Iowa), is an IRS registered 501(c)(3) tax-exempt charity.

A contribution designated (restricted) for a specific purpose, when accepted, will be used only to fund expenses related to that purpose. Occasionally, we may receive more in contributions for a particular purpose than can be wisely applied to it in the foreseeable future or the purpose may cease to be feasible. In these situations, the LCMS will make reasonable attempts to contact contributors to apply their contribution toward another aspect of ministry that aligns closely the contributor’s goals and values. If a contributor cannot be contacted, the LCMS will use the gift to meet a similar pressing need that most closely matches the contributor's original intent.

Consistent with Synod Board policy and in recognition of a more challenging economic and philanthropic/fundraising environment due to inflationary pressure, not more than 12.5 percent of any charitable contribution will be allocated to administering gifts and communicating with contributors. Contributions received and accepted by the LCMS are deemed to be in agreement with this statement.
