An LWF Asia regional office has been functioning since 2000, and currently is located in Chennai, India.
Visits & Mission Training
Visits to member churches by the Asia regional coordinator make clear the great contrasts of ministries and needs between urban and rural ministries of the member churches, and also among the many cultures that define mission contexts. The regional office has provided mission training for several years, with a special emphasis on lay training.
Mekong Mission
Since 2000, the Asia regional coordinator has assisted the Asia area desk in convening meetings of local churches and LWF partners with the aim to coordinate mission initiatives in the Mekong region, which includes Cambodia, China, Laos, Myanmar, Thailand and Vietnam. Several leadership and management training events have been conducted through the Mekong Steering Committee established by the Mekong Mission Forum. In particular, joint programs and initiatives are encouraged.
Communication
The regional office produces a bi-monthly newsletter and has established an interactive Asia Lutheran Web site to enhance communion and the sharing of news and information among the member churches in Asia.
