CNH Grant #17 (2022-2024) Indonesian Hymnal Project - LCMS Office of International Mission, Asia RegionThe Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod (LCMS) Office of International Mission and the Indonesian Christian Lutheran Church (GKLI) have been coordinating on the development of an explicitly Lutheran service book in Indonesian since October 2017. To date there is no
quality service book available in Indonesian, let alone a quality Lutheran service book. The Indonesian Hymnal Project will open rich musical heritage in liturgy and hymns to all Indonesians; train congregations to think, sing, and speak theologically in Indonesian native tongue while strengthening their Gospel Proclamation in their communities; and be a vital tool for parents/grandparents to pass down the faith to their children and grandchildren. Funds from this grant help in publishing the Indonesian Hymnal. |

Mite Explanation and History
Based on the Biblical account of the widow's mite (Luke 21:1-4), the mite box is intended for regular contributions of "mites" - offerings above and beyond the support given to congregations and the LCMS. Mite Box contributions amount to millions of dollars that fund district and national mission grants and implement the LWML program.
Mite Boxes, available from the district, zone or LWML office, are distributed to every woman in a society, and often to each member of the congregation. Local groups submit mite box offerings to the appointed district officer. The Widow's Mite Jesus looked up and saw the rich putting their gifts into the offering box, and he saw a poor widow put in two small copper coins. And he said, “Truly, I tell you, this poor widow has put in more than all of them. For they all contributed out of their abundance, but she out of her poverty put in all she had to live on.” (Luke 21:1-4). Miss Penny's Video - March 2021
