Introducing Muslims to the Savior
2025–2027 Mission Grant 9 — $100,000
1.9 BILLION people...nearly a quarter of the Earth's population...that's how many Muslims there are in our world. They are men, women and children living in spiritual darkness and fear, starving for the love of Jesus Christ. Some have never heard of Him. For people in Muslim communities who HAVE heard and want to learn more about the Christian faith, they often face real danger and threats. For these former Muslims and searching Christians, life can be very lonely and isolated.Lutheran Heritage Foundation (LHF) supports the mission of the church — bringing Christ to the lost so that, through the Holy Spirit and the Word, they may believe in Christ their Savior. For over 30 years, LHF has been extending the ministry of God’s Word by translating and publishing Lutheran books that help explain the Bible. They have translated and published more than 1,500 titles in over 150 languages, which have been distributed at no cost to churches, pastors, individuals, and missionaries.
About a quarter of the world’s population — over 1.9 billion — identify as Muslim. They are living in spiritual darkness and starving for the love of Jesus Christ.
This grant will fund publication of over 20,000 Lutheran books, like the Small Catechism, A Child’s Garden of Bible Stories, and devotions translated into the Arabic, Farsi, Bahasa Indonesian, and Kazakh languages that will be distributed in the United States and worldwide.

2025–2027 Mission Grant 14 — $100,000
Building the congregation in Tel Aviv starting with a core group gathering for worshipSix million unsaved Jewish people live in Israel, and they need to hear the saving words of the Gospel. The Apple of His Eye Mission Society is part of a consortium to plant Lutheran Churches in Israel in partnership with LCMS World Mission and others.
A new Lutheran church will be planted in Tel Aviv under the leadership of Israeli Jewish believer, Sahar Sadlovsky. He is completing his theological studies through Concordia Theological Seminary, Fort Wayne, and has been serving with Jews for Jesus in Tel Aviv for the past five years and is well prepared to build this ministry. To strengthen this new Lutheran church, short-term mission teams of lay people and clergy will go to Tel Aviv and assist in reaching people with the Gospel.
This grant will provide funds to develop training materials for volunteers and support their travel to spread the Gospel in Israel.

The mission of Dakota Boys and Girls Ranch is to help at-risk children and their families succeed in the name of Christ.
Four of the youth in the Academy traveled with the mentors, Anthony and Noel, and our Executive Director attended Best Practices in Phoenix this last year. We were able to meet Vice President of Gospel Outreach Karen Morrison while there! The youth were able to be leaders and share with everyone they encountered!
Joann Fairchild, volunteer advocacy coordinator, is organizing the baby items to go in the baskets. Hats off to her as she has been serving for the past 30 years! Believe it or not, Joann is 91 years old at the time of this picture. She has a heart of gold. Linda Haas is our other coordinator-in-chief. She personally delivers the layettes to the mothers. Some neighborhoods are not safe. God helps! He provides!
Redeeming Life Outreach Ministries serves expectant mothers, welcoming them and their preborn babies, throughout their pregnancies. The Christ-centered love and care for these women and children continues after the child is born as these young families are welcomed and discipled through new parenthood.
