Pres Em. Dr. John Lawrenz with the Lord. (26.08.43-22.09.24) It pleased the Lord to call his servant, Dr. John Lawrenz to his eternal home in heaven. Throughout his life, Dr. Lawrenz impacted many around the world - from his teaching in America, Europe, and Asia. We are especially thankful for his service in Hong Kong from 2003-2013. During this time, God used him to start Asia Lutheran Seminary and to build it into the institution it is today. In each of his classes and workshops, he brought a passion for the lost, a love for God's word, clear teaching of the Old Testament, and the importance of the reformation and the teachings of the Lutheran church. We are thankful for his life of service and join his family in looking forward to a joyous resurrection. May God be with all who mourn....

“I just can’t believe how many broken people are in my congregation.” That’s how one pastor evaluated the people under his care. Yes, some areas of the world or some congregations may seem more broken than others. But the fact that people are broken shouldn’t be surprising....

This summer a group of ALS professors made the trip to America to study at Wisconsin Lutheran Seminary’s “Summer Quarter.” This program gives pastors and professors of theology the opportunity to study God’s Word intensively for a few weeks over the summer. It also allows our professors the chance to fellowship with other pastors and professors from all over the world, while at the same time serves to keep them sharp for the classroom in Asia. ...

Duct tape is a wonderful thing. It’s can repair shoes, furniture, boxes, appliances, and even cars. But after a while, there are just some items that are too broken to be fixed. Not even duct tape can do the job. This world is broken. Broken relationships. Broken people. And yes, our Savior Jesus overcomes the world....
