The past four months have been eventful ones for the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Sudan: the people have adopted a new constitution, changed their church body’s name, and elected a new bishop to lead them. Classes have also started for Sudan's next group of future pastors at CLIHM. Click here to see photos and read more. |

by Rev. James Fandrey
Recently I experienced an eye affliction, resulting in blurred, distorted vision. The unexpected circumstance caused me to wonder, “What if I could never see again, or hear, or speak?” These are terrible physical afflictions.
There are also social afflictions: people living on the seamy side of life; parents and children in dysfunctional homes; and much more. As awful as physical and social afflictions may be, add to that the spiritual afflictions: eyes that are blind to the gospel of Christ; ears that are deaf to hear God’s Word; people who are crippled, because they still lean on religious superstitions; and tongues that are tied in knots, reluctant to make a strong confession of faith.

 “Jesus never fails.” Anyone who’s ever met Rev. Robert Rahn knows that these words from a wall plaque in his parents’ home are ones he’s lived by.
It was with this confidence in the power of God that Rev. Rahn first founded the Lutheran Heritage Foundation in 1992. Now, he’s written a book about the path God laid out for him, from his childhood in rural Minnesota through 50 years of ministry in the LCMS.
The 330-page book also traces the development of LHF, from the exciting but uncertain days in Russia following the fall of communism, to the present-day challenges and blessings in Africa and Southeast Asia. Jesus Never Fails is available from LHF for a recommended donation of $10. (All proceeds benefit the LHF mission.) To order your copy, call (800)554-0723 or send your request by e-mail to info@LHFmissions.org.
LHF speakers will come to your church, free of charge, to tell how new Lutherans are embracing sound doctrine and begging for more materials to be translated into their languages. They will also explain how your congregation can play a part in this important mission.
