Garuna is focused on training indigenous Church leaders, pastors, deaconesses, and lay leaders for the emerging Lutheran Churches in the region. LISA is the ministry that is critical in serving that purpose. The photo on the left shows the service of dedication in Bangkok (2006) when LISA was officially formed.
The Luther Institute Southeast Asia (LISA) is a ministry of The Garuna Foundation that is dedicated to helping teach God's Word in Southeast Asia. This Bible teaching and training ministry assists the Thailand Concordia Lutheran Church (TCLC), the Cambodia Lutheran Church (CLC), and other regional Lutheran partners in the training of indigenous and national pastors, deaconesses, Garuna School teachers, and lay leaders for service in their respective churches.
LISA's ministry is to help provide the curriculum and teaching necessary for its nearly 90 students. Our students come from several ethnic groups and countries. LISA's goal is to train indigenous leaders who will, in turn, teach fellow country ministry leaders, thus significantly expanding their impact.
Your support of this training ministry for the future leaders of the churches in this very important region of the world is greatly appreciated. Thank you for helping our students reach thousands of people with the Good News of Jesus! Please keep this vital ministry in your prayers.
Garuna is excited to announce the completion of its new Bible training center in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. The LISA branch in Cambodia is named the Luther Institute - Cambodia (LI- C)
LISA is thankful to God for this facility that will be used, by God's grace, to train and equip the members and leaders of the Cambodia Lutheran Church (CLC).
