Mission Partners
LCMC encourages congregations to partner with Mission Agencies as part of their benevolence programs.
LCMC believes that partnering with agencies as opposed to national oversight of benevolence funding creates a postive experience for both the congregation and the mission partner.
Throughout the years, LCMC has been introduced to many organizations throughout the world that are working together to fulfill the great commission and bring the gospel to all people. This list is not meant to be exhaustive, but to be an assistance to congregations seeking new partnership. More partners will be added as we develop new relationships.

Awakening Lutherans to World Missions
10000 Spain Rd NE
Albuquerque, NM 87111
Awakening Lutherans to World Missions (ALWM) is a new ministry that is taking Biblical principles and evangelical passion to Lutherans, as well as other mainline congregations. The congregational infrastructure that facilitates various ministries in the local church – from children and youth ministry, to women’s and men’s ministry, to music ministry and much more – is usually in place. But in most churches this is NOT TRUE when it comes to the Great Commission and Global Missions. Something is missing! Most congregations lack is a strong missions committee that can help the congregation strategically, meaningfully and effectively respond to Jesus’ call to take the Gospel to the nations! ALWM exists to change this by challenging and equipping congregations to be actively, intentionally, and practically engaged in the Great Commission. Through various resources, seminars, consultation and coaching, ALWM staff will help you and your leaders build a solid, Biblical and vibrant world missions program that will make a difference for the “nations” as well as in your congregation.
