We work in partnership with the AFLC-Brazil. In Portuguese, the national church in Brazil is called Associação das Igrejas Luterana Livre no Brasil (AILLB). The AILLB has a website in Portuguese. Click here to view their website.

The AFLC of Brazil has 12 pastors serving 17 churches. There are also two pastors teaching in our seminary and two missionary pastors. These pastors shepherd the congregations which make up the backbone of the work in Brazil. It is the local congregation where individuals hear the Word of God, come to the Lord and are ministered to and discipled.​

The Miriam Home was started in 1990 with one little boy, who's Mother died from a heart attack in her early 20's. Social Services from Campo Mourão had come up to see if we could take this child. So little Ricardo came to us and the Miriam Home was born. Since Ricardo, hundreds of children have passed through our doors - some being adopted to other families, others returning to their recuperated family.

The ARCA is a Christian Camp and Retreat Center located in a rural area about 20 miles from Curitiba, Paraná, Brazil. Thousands of lives are touched through this ministry every year as people get away from the distractions and busyness of everyday life and are immersed in the beauty of God's creation and in the teaching of His Word.

Bible camp ministry takes place just outside of Campo Mourão. Young and old take the opportunity to spend uninterrupted time in God's Word. The fellowship with God and other believers refreshes, renews and changes lives.

In Camopo Mourão a Bible school serves to ground lives in the Word of God. Our seminary on the same site prepares pastors to be conservative Lutheran shepherds of congregations.

​As people come to faith in Christ churches are planted to reach the community for Jesus. As churches are planted they desire a place to worship. The AFLC in the United States partners with the Brazilian national church to provide a building. The national church provides a piece of land and AFLC churches and individuals raise $15,000.00 to help build a simple building. This project is called the Primavera Program.

The Association of Free Lutheran Congregations - India (AFLC-I) is headquartered in Chirala, AP, India. The AFLC-I headquarters is also the location of St. Paul's Lutheran School, Horeb Children's Home, a church and the residency of the President of the AFLC-I.

The congregations of the AFLC of India are lead by national shepherds who teach the Word of God reaching the lost and discipling the saved. The AFLC-I has 40-50 national pastors.

As new churches are planted additional pastors are needed. We help in the training of pastors through our Ambassador Institute Department. Indian pastors are trained using oral learning methods and by pastors and teachers from the Association of Free Lutheran Congregations in the United States traveling to India. The goals is to have Indian pastors who can train new pastors in the future.

Some congregations are unable to secure pastors. These congregations are held together by Bible Women who share the Word of God with their neighbors between visits of a nearby pastor.

The AFLC-I carries out the Great Commission by planting churches in the towns and villages of Andhra Pradesh. Gospel Meetings are held in a village. Then the new Christians are discipled and a church is planted.

As a village forms a congregation, they desire to have a permanent building where they can worship Christ. Most congregations begin worshiping in a thatched building they can afford. Unfortunately these structures don't stand up to the rainy season and must be rebuilt almost every year.

A program called the Kattudamhmu Randi (Come Let Us Build - CLUB) Project has been developed to help provide permanent structures for worship. This special project attempts to raise $15,000. per year which will build two churches in India.

Our AFLC-India congregations are operating 27 tutorial centers and have appointed 27 workers who can teach Bible stories along with their regular subjects. Students receive help with their school subjects, are taught a Bible lesson, and are provided a snack. The tutorial centers operate one hour before the school day and two hours after school.

Horeb Children's Home takes in children whose parents have died or can not take care of them. The children are cared for and educated at St. Paul's Lutheran School. People in the United States support individual children for $40.00 per month.​

If​ you would like to support a child at the Horeb Home contact the World Missions office at worldmis@aflc.org

Through gifts from people throughout the AFLC we provide medical care and food and necessities in times of disaster.

Included in the picture slide show immediately below, there is a video of food relief work and a few pictures, toward the end.

AFLC has partnered with the CMLC since 1979. Rev. Samuel Flores was the first president of the CMLC. Today Rev. Milton Flores is the president. The CMLC works in cities in the central area of Mexico.

The Northern Mexico Outreach consists of one church in the northwest area of Mexico outside of the city of Obregon. This church is pastored by Rev. Gabriel Mercado. The AFLC has partnered with this work since 1978. Partners in Mission Organization (PIMO) has had a great impact on the planting of this congregation. The goal of all AFLC World Missions is that all of our works would become self sufficient. This congregation became self sufficient at the end of 2013.

AFLC Missionaries have ministered in an area north of Leon, starting in Aguascalientes and now in Jerez.

One of the most successful ways of reaching people in Mexico seems to be through Kids' Clubs and youth groups. They are brought to faith in their youth and then discipled to live for Him as they grow.

The Giles family have been busy translating the AFLC Ambassador Sunday School Material. The material is then placed on the internet where people can download quality Bible based Spanish Sunday school material anywhere in the world. The response has been amazing as thousands of copies are downloaded every month. Visit the website.

The Principios Project partners with the Church in Mexico to help them build simple places of worship. Churches and individuals in the United States help congregations in Mexico build churches by sharing the cost. The goal is to raise $10,000.00 to help build one building per year.

This ministry has largely been handed over to the Ugandan nationals but is still overseen and encouraged by the missionaries. They continue to seek the development and implementation of pastoral training. The goal is that pastors would train and mentor new pastors, who would in turn train and mentor others.​ AFLC World Missions has had great success in this using our Ambassador Institute oral training curriculum.

The missionaries that we have on the field now (Jores, Bergers, Michael Rokenbrodt and Raans) ask the Lord of how best, in accordance with God's Word and the culture of Uganda, to plant Free & Living Lutheran Congregations. We are currently seeking to do this in two different locations within the country and possibly seeking a third location. Please pray that the Lord would build His Church, as the families seek to disciple and to plant these congregations.
