Augustana District Core Values

Theology

"The Word of God is Jesus Christ^[2], the proclamation of him^[3], and the Holy
Scriptures^[4]. This Word functions as both law and gospel, which need to be distinguished, but not separated. The law orders society and convicts us of sin, showing us our need for a Savior^[5]. The gospel is the power of God that liberates us from sin, death, and the power of the devil, and brings us, by grace, from death to life^[6].

2 John 1:1, 14, 3 Matthew 18:20; I , John 1:1, 2, 4 II Timothy 3:16, 5 Smalcald, Part III, Article II. The Law, 6 Romans 1:16

Church

"Sinners are made right with God by grace alone through faith alone on account of Christ alone. This is the article of faith by which the church stands or falls."^[1]

1 Augustana IV; Smalcald, Part II, Article 1: “Nothing in this article can be given up or compromised.”

Mission

Christ commanded that his Word be proclaimed^[7]. Through it, the Holy Spirit works faith when and where he pleases^[8] and repentant sinners are elected unto salvation. Christians live out their earthly lives as totally justified and totally sinful^[9].

7 Luke24:46-47, 8 Romans 10:17; Augustana V; Small Catechism Part II, Third Article. , 9 Smalcald, Part III, Article III. Penitence.

AIMJ

As a district we are supporting 4 pastors at $125/month. These pastors are preaching the Gospel to Muslims in northern India and the harvest is great!

Would you, or your congregation like to sponsor a pastor at $125/mo., or $375/quarter?

The District sends quarterly payments of $1,500 to AIMJ, All India Masihi Jamat.

YAMI

The Young Adult Missionary Internship is a Christian mission program designed for young adults (ages 19-25) to experience life as a missionary in a cross-cultural environment so that they can better discern God’s call for their lives.

For more information see www.alwm.org/young-adult-missionary-internship or email Pr. Matt Shields.

Tabor Project in Ethiopia

Tabor is a vibrant congregation within EECMY. A partnership was formed when Senior Pastor Dawit y Wario spoke to an AD gathering in Fall 2012. AD is called to support evangelists, to provide EECMY Seminarian support, and to purchase bicycles and motorcycles for evangelists to travel to communities to spread the Gospel.

Augustana District Financial Snapshot

At the end of September, $50,181.11 has been given to the Augustana District General Fund, which supports the day to day operations including the mission and ministry of the district. This represents just 38.6% of our annual goal of $130,000. We are counting on an outpouring of year-end giving to meet all of our annual commitments.

We hope and pray for your continued investment in the work that God is doing in and through the District. Please consider donating today.
