Dollar-In Dollar-Out Policy

Lutheran Church Charities operates with a policy where 100% of the money donated to a specific need goes toward that need. The transaction costs will be paid by LCC administrative funds, not from a percentage off of the donation.
Christmas for the Poor in Myanmar Print E-mail
Request from Rev. Charles Edwards, Pastor, National Lutheran Church of Myanmar
Christmas is approaching.

Our newly democrat government has given some freedom to many sectors but it is not clear how much freedom they will give to religious organizations. But, some news said that this Christmas will be more free and have more opportunities than last year's.

Our church has decided to do two projects in this Christmas season.

Our church is located in the poorest area of Yangon. In this area there are crimes, lawlessness, illiteracy, less educations, illness etc.. Most of the parents go to work (hard labor) very early in the morning and come back at night. So, hundreds of children are on the streets during the day time looking for food. Our first church focus is to look after 500 children during this season. We care for them, feed them and fulfill their small needs. (Give used cloths, food, medicines, and gift).

The second focus - in our area there are thousands of people who have never heard the gospel in a culturally appropriate way, or had an opportunity to respond to the gospel. Our church is planning to visit 500 homes during this season and give a small gift and tracks (Special Christmas message) to every home.

Last week, the government brought Buddha's tooth (relics) from China and millions of people meditated upon this. Widows, orphans, hard labors, etc. gave their respects and donated all their properties to that tooth.

CHRISTIANS DO NOT HAVE ANY RELICS OF JESUS BECAUSE JESUS IS ALIVE!

Our church focuses on this and proclaims the LIVING OF JESUS to the PEOPLE BOUND AND IMPOVERISHED BY EVIL POWERS.

OUR CHURCH NEEDS YOUR HELP!

We need your prayers, encouragements and smallest donations. Through you we can help many children to be happy in this Christmas. Thousands of unreached people will hear or read the gospel of JESUS CHRIST for the first time in their life.

Can you help us?
