Texas LWML
Grant Provides for LFL Spanish
Translations!
In
2008,
the Texas LWML accepted a proposal from LFL for a
Lutheran Women’s Missionary League Mission grant to help
Lutherans For Life translate, produce, market, and
distribute our materials in Spanish to reach the growing
Hispanic and Latino communities with God’s Word of Life.
We have been informed that the
Pro-Life brochures in
Spanish project was approved as one of the 2008-2010
mission grants of the Texas District LWML!
The
resolution presented to the LWML follows. Thanks be to
God for this gracious gift and partnership!
WHEREAS,
God’s positive and powerful message of life and new life
in Christ applies to the whole spectrum of life issues
and brings hope and healing to men and women in all
cultures who have made decisions on these issues.
WHEREAS,
There is a need to reach women and men inside and
outside the Church with Bible-based, pro-life materials.
WHEREAS, For
29 years Lutherans For Life has positively affected
Lutheran churches on the life issues through biblically
based resources.
WHEREAS, The
Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod views an American scene
that is increasingly diverse—in color, world origin,
language, and customs. Because of their numbers,
Hispanics and Latinos are most prominent.
WHEREAS, Our
Hispanic and Latino Lutheran communities value the
dignity of human life, yet over 20 percent of abortions
in the United States each year end the life of Hispanic
preborn babies.
WHEREAS, LFL
desires to translate, produce, and distribute printed
and audio/visual materials in the Spanish language for
use as needed by pastors and laypeople in Texas,
throughout the United States, and abroad. Therefore, be
it
RESOLVED,
That the Lutheran Women’s Missionary League in
convention vote the sum of $10,244 (amount funded)
to fund the translation and printing of 10 brochures for
use in the Hispanic and Latino communities to reach out
with God’s Word of Life to those facing life issues in
their daily lives.
Over the next
three years, more
Spanish materials will be available
from Lutherans For Life because of this grant.
There are
many special LFL projects waiting for funding. If you
are interested in learning more, please Lutherans For
Life!
Please continue to keep Lutherans For Life in your
prayers. |
