In India we partner with the Arcot Lutheran Church, the India Evangelical Lutheran Church and the Northern Evangelical Lutheran Church through existing ministries of those churches. In Argentina we partner with the Lutheran Church in Argentina and Uruguay by collaborating with the leadership to introduce U.S. congregations to Lutheran congregations in Argentina and Uruguay and encourage the relationships while assisting with logistics of partner projects.
