Lutheran Women's Missionary League (LWML) - The mission of the Florida-Georgia District LWML is to share the love of Christ with women of all ages and diversities and to foster a recognition that the mission field exists both at home and abroad.
Haiti mission - A modern-day miracle of explosive church growth! Despite Satanic voodoo and extreme poverty, Haiti's Minister of Cults
(Religions) has declared the Lutheran Church to be the fastest growing church in Haiti. They now have over 136 congregations and 105 primary schools.
Venezuelan farm project - It began, as a farming enterprise should, with seed, hope and prayer. Now, as in the parable of the
mustard seed, it is growing into something that will make a wonderful difference in the lives of people in rural Venezuela. The congregation of la Iglesia Luterana Cristo Rey (Christ the King Lutheran Church) in
Maturin, capital of the eastern state of Monagas, supports the development of a working farm in the surrounding countryside. Originally known as La Finca Guayuta, the farm has been renamed La Finca Luterana Tierra
de Gracia (Land of Grace Lutheran Farm).
