2. INTERNATIONAL WITNESS

To Commend the Lutheran Heritage
Foundation on its 25th Anniversary
RESOLUTION 2-10
Overture 2-13 (CW, 400)

WHEREAS, The Lutheran Heritage Foundation (LHF),
founded on Nov. 10, 1992, is a recognized service
organization of The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod
(LCMS); and
WHEREAS, The LHF works in close collaboration with the
Office of International Mission; and
WHEREAS, Many Lutheran churches around the world do
not have the books vital to understanding the Lutheran
Confession of the Christian faith because no one had
translated them into their language; and
WHEREAS, In more than 90 countries and 100 languages,
thousands of people have come to faith in Christ because
they have been able to read books in their own languages
that include the Book of Concord (12 translations), Luther’s
Small Catechism (86 translations), and A Child’s Garden of
Bible Stories (29 translations); and
WHEREAS, In the past decade, LHF has published and
distributed more than 925 titles in 102 languages with
many more in progress; and
WHEREAS, Over 3 million Lutheran books have been
distributed to pastors, seminary students, missionaries,
and churches—at no cost to them; therefore be it
Resolved, That Synod in convention give thanks for 25
years of ministry of LHF and encourage support of its work.
Action: Adopted (8)
Without objection, the resolution was put to an immediate voice
vote and carried.
