As an arm of the Church we as Lutheran Men of Australia support the Mission of the Lutheran Church of Australia.

We encourage men in the church to become involved with the activities of their Congregations, with Bible Study, Friendship Groups & in other functions that happen in their Congregations.

Many Fellowships within the Membership of L, M.A.S.A.D. hold Men's Breakfast's with quality Guest Speakers these occasions bring along many people who are not activley involved in their area & they are often encouraged by what they see & hear at these gatherings from not only the Guest Speakers but from the fellowship of those around them. This is but one way in which men can become more involved within their Congregations.

There are also various Fellowships that hold an Annual Dinner in their particular area in which they invite other Congregations to attend, these Dinner's they also have good Guest Speakers, the Executive of L.M.A. are usually represented at these functions & it is a pleasure to see many people come together in fellowship.

We also distribute a Newsletter twice a year which goes out to all Pastor's & Congregations that have an EMAIL address, also to Members of L.M.A.. who are on our regular mailing list. There is also a LUTHERAN MEN MAGAZINE that is published quarterly, although this does depend on information being forwarded to the Editor.

We would ask the Council of Mission to consider advising the Secretary of L.M.A. or the Editor of the Magazine with information on what the Council of Mission is doing at various times, in this way we then as men who are interested in what the Mission of the Church is looking for may be able to assist in some way.

We would like to hear more from Pastors as to ways in which we as men of the Church can assist them in helping to participate in the spreading of the "Gospel" to all those about the community in which they are situated. Over the years Lutheran Men of Australia have assisted Graduating Pastors, but we quite often do not hear from them once they have Graduated, & we would encourage the Council of Mission to advise the Pastors that they have an ally in Lutheran Men to assist them in their Mission to spread the "Gospel". (Is this not what we are all required to do)

The Lutheran Men Of Australia have Projects which run from one General Synod to the next in which we raise funds that go towards Graduating Pastors & also the Lutheran Media, altogether these Projects assist the general Church to the amount of approximately $12,000-00 each triennium, the Graduating Pastors receive a Book Voucher to the value of $ 350-00 to assist them as they go to their first Call, the Lutheran Media also receive a substantial amount to help them to continue to spread the "Gospel" to the world.

Meet the new LMA President

Lori Kruger was born at Hamilton in Victoria. In his early years he lived on a farm near Lake Linlithgow and worshipped at Warrayure. During the war years his family moved to Melbourne. But because of his father's ill health, they returned to western Victoria. At Tarrington he was confirmed and attended Luther League.

After his marriage in 1957 he joined the Hamilton congregation. In 1961 he was transferred to Portland with his job as an earthmoving contractor. He ended up staying for 38 years, returning to Hamilton 5 years after his retirement.

Lori has served as congregational chairman and an elder. He now spends his time on church maintenance and voluntary driver for the aged. He was a charter member and a president of the Portland Lions Club, and is still a member at Hamilton.

He spent 4 years as president of Lutheran Men of Victoria before taking on the national leadership. As LMA president he urges members to pray for members, to encourage others to join in the fellowship and Bible Study, to encourage pastors to promote Lutheran Men, and to support current major projects (Men for The Ministry and Lutheran Media Ministry).

Members of the Executive are willing to come to your congregation and talk to you about Lutheran Men's Fellowship.

Lutheran Men Of Australia are an auxillary of the Lutheran Church and our projects go to further the word of "Our Lord". Our project for this trienium is to raise $15,000-00 which will go to book vouchers for graduating Pastors (All graduating Pastors for the past 45 years that I know of have received vouchers). Also as you may be aware, Lutheran Media Ministry relies on contributions for it to continue the great work that it does world wide. $8,000-00 of our projects will go to the Lutheran Media Ministry.
