The church mission arm of our partner church (Lutherische Kirchenmission-LKM) The Independent Lutheran Church in Germany, held a seminar for Iranian and Vietnamese asylum seekers in Germany. Many are interested in Christianity and the claims of Christ, so this seminar addressed the history of the Church in Iran as well as issues relating to life in Germany for refugees. Missionary Matthew Heise also shared with them the work of LCMS World Mission-Eurasia as well as a devotion.

This was a marvelous opportunity for LKM to witness and show the love of Christ to those living in the limbo-like existence of an asylum seeker. We pray that the Lord will bless our friends at LKM and their listeners as they share the hope of Christ with those who seek Him.
