Stamps for Mission

Is your congregation involved in the Stamps for Mission initiative?

Stamps for Mission are deeply thankful for the many LCANZ congregations who have faithfully supported God’s mission by collecting and passing on their used stamps. Since 2008, through your generosity, the Stamps for Mission program has now raised over $500,000 to support ministry and mission projects funded by LCA International Mission. We praise God for his abundant provision—and for your servant-hearted efforts in turning something as ordinary as a used stamp into an extraordinary gift for God’s global mission.

Stamps for Mission gathers and sells all types of stamps to support our international mission program. New and used stamps, modern or older, Australian and overseas, loose or in albums are all accepted. If you are a serious collector and have a valuable collection, please consider bequeathing it to the Stamps for Mission program.
