What on earth is God doing — and how do we join in?

Mission isn’t something we invent. It’s something we join. God is already at work in our communities — drawing people into grace, stirring questions of meaning, and inviting the Church to notice, trust, and participate.

The Presence video series offers a simple and accessible introduction to the Christian faith through a Lutheran lens. It invites reflection on who God is, where God is already at work, and how faith takes shape in everyday life — not just within church walls.

Perhaps faithful leadership in this season isn’t about adding more activity, but about creating space for deeper formation:

- learning to notice God’s presence,

- helping our people trust that God comes to them,

- and living as Christ’s presence for others.

To explore this together, you’re invited to join the LCA District Mission Directors for EMMY – Explorations in Mission and MinistrY online conversation. EMMY is a new monthly space bringing together pastors and leaders from across Australia and New Zealand for shared reflection, story-telling, and encouragement.

Each month includes a short stimulus (video or reflection), followed by an open Zoom conversation where we listen, ask questions, and learn from one another.

We are looking forward to Rev Dr Noel Due leading us through the process for Reading Revelation Today. His dynamic approach to digesting the messages from God and the principles of interpretation will inspire you. There will be an interactive element each week, which will help to re-focus your thinking and unfold key passages and their connections to our current times. We encourage you to be part of the journey!
