Children Need Jesus in Mongolia! In many countries, where Lutheranism didn't exist a generation ago, parents want to teach their children about Jesus. The major obstacle is that NO Lutheran children's books are available in their language. With your help, the Lutheran Heritage Foundation is changing this!
Children Need Jesus in Ghana! LHF has already translated and printed children's Bible storybooks in more than 20 languages. However, the demand for these books is so high that LHF cannot answer all the requests from pastors, missionaries, and pastors who need materials in a language their families can read and understand.
WHEREAS, People were bringing babies to Jesus for Him to bless them, and Jesus called the children to Him saying, But Jesus called them to him, saying, “Let the children come to me, and do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of God.” (Luke 18:16); and
WHEREAS, With the growth of Lutheran churches and missions around the world, new Christian parents want to teach their children about their Lord Jesus Christ but lack Lutheran Bible storybooks in their own languages; and
WHEREAS, Lutheran missionaries and church leaders worldwide have expressed a deep need for Lutheran materials, printed in the native languages of the people they serve, so that they may better share the Lutheran faith with families in their care; and
WHEREAS, The Lutheran Heritage Foundation, an LCMS Recognized Service Organization (RSO), has for 25 years vigorously fulfilled its mission of translating, publishing, and distributing Lutheran books (including A Child’s Garden of Bible Stories and Bible Stories in Pictures) into more than 90 languages, giving LCMS missionaries, pastors, and families the tools they need to introduce children to Jesus; therefore be it

Children Need Jesus in Vietnam! The children's Bible storybooks have been gratefully received and used in Sunday schools, in families for devotions and for immigrant families in the United States.
