Prayers

Pray for Ronald and Mary Anne as they serve the Lord in Papua New Guinea. Ask God to bless both of them with good health during their time in this country. Pray that the Ralls serve the people of Papua New Guinea according to God’s will. Pray for the Gutnius Lutheran Church in Papua New Guinea as it faces many challenges to share the Gospel with many language groups and to provide helpful printed materials for pastors, evangelists and teachers. Ask God to strengthen Ronald and Mary Anne that they might support the church in this endeavor. Let us give thanks to God the Ralls have answered His call to serve the Lord and His people in this part of the world.

The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod Inc., including Mission Central (in Mapleton, Iowa), is an IRS registered 501(c)(3) tax-exempt charity.

A contribution designated (restricted) for a specific purpose, when accepted, will be used only to fund expenses related to that purpose. Occasionally, we may receive more in contributions for a particular purpose than can be wisely applied to it in the foreseeable future or the purpose may cease to be feasible. In these situations, the LCMS will make reasonable attempts to contact contributors to apply their contribution toward another aspect of ministry that aligns closely the contributor’s goals and values. If a contributor cannot be contacted, the LCMS will use the gift to meet a similar pressing need that most closely matches the contributor's original intent.

Consistent with Synod Board policy and in recognition of a more challenging economic and philanthropic/fundraising environment due to inflationary pressure, not more than 13.5 percent of any charitable contribution will be allocated to administering gifts and communicating with contributors. Contributions received and accepted by the LCMS are deemed to be in agreement with this statement.
