Gospel Nets

 

 

And (Jesus) said to them, ‘Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.’” (Matt. 4:19 ESV)

Every church needs certain things: the Bible, a pastor, a place to worship God. But new churches around the world don’t always have these things. Members might have to share a Bible because they don’t have enough. They might have to meet outside, in a tent or in someone’s house to worship God. They might not even have their own pastor to teach them about Jesus and His Word.

Help Cast Gospel Nets that Bring People to Jesus!

With your help, The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod can help new churches around the world get the things they need to tell people about Jesus. Whether in Africa, South America or Asia, all churches need to be able to wash people with the waters of Holy Baptism, teach the Word of God so people believe and feed them with the Lord’s Supper. Together through your support of Gospel Nets, you can join your brothers and sisters in Christ around the world and be fishers of men!

 

$5 can provide a Bible in another language

People need to be able to read and hear God’s saving Word in their own language.


 

$25 can provide Sunday school materials

Children remember Bible stories better when teachers use pictures and activities.


 

$100 can provide bicycles to help pastors travel between churches

Bicycles make it easier for pastors to travel to many different villages to tell people about Jesus.


 

$500+ can provide roofs for new church buildings

Churches around the world might be built out of mud or straw. They need roofs to protect people from the sun and the rain.

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.
