GLOBAL MISSIONS

King of Kings has worked together with other Lutheran churches and our Concordia Schools toward the courageous goal of building a school and starting a church in the Prey Veng province of Cambodia. This is a Christian school in a village that is 95% Buddhist. It opened in the fall of 2023 with 225 students and currently has 319 students. Already they need two more classrooms. The newly formed church, Life of Christ Lutheran Church also meets in the wonderful facility.

King of Kings works closely with Garuna ministries and partners with them to assist in leadership development. We helped fund the building of a training center known as LISA, Luther Institute of Southeast Asia. We have visited them on a mission trip, developed personal relationships, and continue to support training more leaders.

For $30/month, your congregation and school families can sponsor a child attending the Omaha Garuna School in Cambodia! Please go to the Garuna website to set up your sponsorship — and receive your child’s brochure shortly thereafter! You can also sponsor a teacher for $100/month. 

We partner with Children’s HopeChest to sponsor a CarePoint in Los Amates, Guatemala. We are excited about our many opportunities to be generous in the poorest country in Latin America. Over 120 members are sponsoring a child in this community. This also funds the holistic ministry that gives the gospel while helping empower an entire community. We strive to send two mission trips per year. Investigate upcoming trips through the link below.

The Lutheran Church of South Sudan (LCSS) is a refugee church body displaced by political conflict and genocide in their homeland of South Sudan. They have temporarily moved to Gambella, Ethiopia where they have set up a seminary, a college, and church. Trained pastors from this location have been sent all over that region of Africa. Many people are coming to Christ!

Through our partnership, we are helping President Jordan Long of the LCSS invite Lutheran pastors from America to take a short-term mission trip and teach a seminar at their seminary. Such friendships and relationships benefit both partners who see how God brings different cultures to work together for the advancement of the gospel. These friendships help seminary students find sponsors to help them financially.

Hand of Hope is a partner ministry organization that focuses on spreading the love of Jesus to the poor, uninsured and underinsured after they have experienced a natural disaster. Team members come from various churches, mostly in the Midwest and travel to disaster areas when the overwhelming job of rebuilding is at hand. Not only do they use their manual labor and varying levels of construction skills, but they also take time for one-on-one relationship building and prayer. Learn more how you can pray, give or serve. Contact Mission Support Team Leader: Jon Nelson.

The vision of Christ for the City International (CFCI) is that there would be no place without a witness, no church without a vision, and no person without hope. If you are not able to take a short-term mission trip at King of Kings, we encourage you to contact Christ for the City and ask about trip openings that are with other churches. Christ for the City has a well-developed mission strategy that is holistic and develops local leaders as the gospel is shared. Their presence in other countries is widespread.

Please contact Chip Anderson for more information on local or global mission opportunities.

Orphan Grain Train distributes relief items at places of need throughout the country and the world. We are currently remodeling our missions room so that we might take donations of clothing, household items, and more.

We partner with Gina (Giesselmann) Mueller, who grew up at King of Kings and now serves as a missionary in New England. She is leader in the missional movement called 3DM. Their vision at 3DM to equip the church to live out the Way of Jesus more fully and so help to ignite a Great Awakening. To this end, they invest in leaders of established churches, church plants, megachurches, house churches, parachurch organizations, denominations, businesses, and families to build a discipling culture that produces a missional movement with the power to change the world. Simply put, 3DM exists to put Jesus-Shaped discipleship and mission back into the hands of everyday people!  Learn more how you can pray, give or serve.
