Garuna's Three Mission Emphases
Garuna has a bias toward developing national leadership.

- A commitment to the training of indigenous (Lutheran) pastors, deaconesses, and leaders through the Luther Institute Southeast Asia (LISA) ministry;
- A commitment to help with the growth and development of indigenous Lutheran Churches; and,
- A commitment to sharing the Good News with children and their families through the Garuna Christian School system.
