Deaf Ministry in the LCANZ has entered a new era, with Julian Mazzeo ordained as a Specific Ministry Pastor of the Adelaide Deaf Community Church (ADCC) earlier this month. The South Australia – Northern Territory District has set up a fund that will go towards supporting Pastor Julian's ministry, and his ongoing training, and to assist with providing interpreter services when he attends church events.
If you or your congregation feels led to contribute, the bank account details for donations are as follows:
Account name: LCA AGFund
BSB: 704 942
AC: 1009 69623
Keep the Way Forward conversation going
More than 300 people from across the LCANZ attended this month's Way Forward webinars. The project management team was thrilled with the level of participation and engagement. Now keep the conversation going and tell us what your congregation thinks about the three frameworks through the Engaging with the Way Forward page.

Australian Lutheran World Service (ALWS) has committed $50,000 to support the work of the Augusta Victoria Hospital in East Jerusalem as the humanitarian situation in Gaza rapidly deteriorates. The August Victoria Hospital is owned and operated by ALWS partner, Lutheran World Federation, and serves five million Palestinians, many of whom are from the West Bank and Gaza. The hospital specialises in care for cancer patients and provides haemodialysis for kidney patients. Children also receive critical care. Forty per cent of the hospital’s patients come from Gaza. Since the war started, many patients either cannot go home or are unable to access life-saving treatment. Through ALWS, you can help people hurt by the crisis in Israel and Gaza by supporting the Augusta Victoria Hospital to provide life-saving medical care. Your ALWS donation will support the hospital with medical supplies, meals, dignity kits for patients, and essential transport.
