The Lutheran Church of Australia (LCA) is committed to providing a safe church environment for children and young people. The LCA acknowledges that children are a precious gift from God, with special vulnerabilities, that they require nourishment and nurture in their spiritual development and that they are to be protected from all forms of abuse. The LCA also affirms that it has no tolerance for child abuse and that all its people have an important responsibility to care for children and to keep them safe. The way we care for children reflects our genuineness of faith. It is also a reflection of God’s love and his divine protection.

LLL Australia CEO Karen Pienaar recently attended the 2026 LCAVD Convention of Synod and presented a Mission Outreach Grant to Holy Trinity Lutheran Church Horsham.
In September, Holy Trinity Pastor Hans Peethala (recently Installed LCAVD Assistant Bishop) led a mission trip to India. The LLL Mission Outreach Grant will assist the group in their current work developing a series of events and programs to share learnings from the trip, supporting and strengthening a missional culture in the local congregation and region.
Thank you to LLL for the generous grant! We pray these funds allow Holy Trinity to continue their mission and share their valuable learnings with the Horsham community.
We look forward to sharing more about Holy Trinity's work in months to come.

Thank you Karen. You are a great blessing! It was a great joy to hear of your testimony. God bless you ✝️
It is our privilege and honour to support this important work with an LLL Mission Outreach Grant. We wish Pastor Hans and his team every blessing in their endeavours and look forward to learning more about the outcomes in coming months.
