Beginning in 1902 with missionaries to China, Lutheran Brethren World Missions has sent hundreds of missionaries to countries in Asia and Africa. The primary focus is taking the Good News of Jesus Christ to unreached people groups who have no indigenous church through which the gospel can be spread. We currently have missionaries in Chad, Japan, and Taiwan working among unreached people groups. LBWM is the international mission sphere of the Church of the Lutheran Brethren in North America.

Cameroon 2008
A short-term mission team from North America traveled to Garoua, Cameroon this November to assist the Cameroonian church in evangelism and church planting. Teams of North Americans and Cameroonians of three to four went door to door through the target neighborhoods sharing the good news of Jesus Christ and telling about a new congregation being started in the neighborhood. Along the way they had the incredible opportunity to worship and fellowship with workers from the LB church in Cameroon and share in the spiritual refreshment. Over 150 people came to believe in Jesus Christ during the evangelism campaign. Pray for these new believers as they are discipled by the national church. And pray for those who were sent as they reflect on this life-changing experience. Check out a reflection on the trip by by Pastor Randy Mortenson.
