The FLGA District 35th Regular Convention

The FLGA District 35th Regular Convention will be held at the Embassy Suites by Hilton Orlando Lake Buena Vista South in Orlando, FL, June 5-7, 2025.

From the first seeds of the gospel, planted in 1993, a Lutheran mission was initiated by five lay people. Through regular Bible studies, the ground was prepared by missionaries from Ghana for the first Lutheran worship service on October 30, 1994. From these humble beginnings, the work of God's Kingdom in Uganda continued to grow. Since 1997, The Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod has sent 10 missionaries to serve in Uganda. Over time, the congregations grew from a couple of congregations to over 150 congregations serving over 50,000 members.

Uganda is home to 48 tribes and 52 spoken languages, and the Lutheran Church of Uganda (LCU) currently serves 11 tribes and 14 language areas. While English is the national language used in schools, most Ugandans worship in their tribal language. There is a great need for translations of Bibles, hymnals, catechisms, and other materials to spread the Gospel. 

The Convention Offering is designated for the LCU, and will also be used to cover costs of shipping ingathering items to Uganda.

INGATHERING

Items Needed for LCU

We’re excited to share that the Lutheran Church of Uganda has specifically requested support, and we’re thrilled to be able to help!

The goal of the ingathering is to collect gently used items from the Ingathering Items List below that are no longer needed by your congregation, pastors, and members—the items should still be in good condition and can make a meaningful impact on these LCU mission communities.

Your contributions will truly make a difference, and we’re grateful for the opportunity to serve alongside them!
