LALM Information
The Latin American Lutheran Mission (LALM) is an independent Lutheran mission started in 1936 (see history) and is focused on proclaiming the Gospel to the people of Mexico. It was the parent, and now partner, of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Mexico (ELCM). This partnership encourages Bible study and discipleship training to equip Mexican people to fulfill Christ’s “Great Commission.”
