The LHM Mission: "Bringing Christ to the Nations--and the Nations to the Church."
"The world may have changed, but the power of the laity remains strong today as the Int’l LLL/LHM continues to move forward by adapting with the times to remain a leading force for providing the Gospel message to others. Since our founding, we have repeatedly faced the learning curve of how to best present the Gospel to new generations using new technologies, and throughout that history we have seen examples of god’s providence, power and protection!...”
-Kurt Buchholz, President & CEO

Sharing the Gospel
Just like Martin Luther blazed a trail on that fateful day in October 1517 beginning the Reformation and using the printing press to get Bibles into the hands of the people... Just like the Lutheran Hour radio program began on October 2nd, 1930 and reached hundreds of homes, blazing a trail to become the world’s oldest continually broadcast Christ –centered radio program. Sending the Gospel to people around the nation and the world is what we are all about.
Lutheran Hour Ministries today is making strides to blaze a trail into the digital age. Lutheran Hour is now available as a podcast through the LHM App and your favorite streaming service. We are also bringing the Gospel to thousands in the Middle East thanks to our partnership with Sat7 satelite broadcasting.
We also offer LHM Learn which are online courses that can be done individually or as a small group. Check out the courses on how to equip your congregation for outreach. Some include downloadable content such as discussion guides. As you can see technology has always been embraced by Lutherans, as a way to share the Gospel where the people are to fulfill the Great Commission. We reach over 100 million people each week with the Gospel.
Our ministry centers work in areas where other organizations are not present. We use a model where the staff of our ministry centers are indigenous to the country and can better develop culturally relevant programs. We are active in over 50 nations and as of September of 2021 our ministry centers have referred over 65,000 people to local Christian communities.
