New Year Message 2021
"A presence of mercy"
In his New Year message to all LWF member churches, General Secretary Rev. Dr Martin Junge urges church leaders to “be merciful” in ministering to people facing post-COVID challenges.
Mental health, economic difficulties and increased gender-based violence are problems that communities will be facing as part of a “third wave” of the pandemic.
