Our Lord has had recorded for us the direction
of His church. Matthew 28:19, Mark 16:15, Luke 24:47, John 20:21 and Acts
1:8 are passages from our Lord when He walked on earth directing us to
reach out. The material on this website reminds us in the Church of the
Lutheran Confession how in India and Africa we are seeking to carry out
His directions.

formed - Himalayan Church

South Africa - Correspondence was carried
on between us and a Lutheran group in SA that inquired of us. Even though
our representatives were in Johannesburg we did not have a face to face
meeting. We found out the group had not told us the whole truth in correspondence.
Furthermore, we discovered that they were not reputable, especially with
regard to finances.
A visit is planned with a preacher who was in our sister
church in Congo and
is now working in South Africa. We pray that renewed contact and forward
movement together in Gospel work can proceed.
