Who They Are and What They Do

The Labourers For Christ organization in Canada is made up largely of retired or semi-retired Christians within Lutheran Church-Canada. Anyone18 years of age and older may become a Labourer For Christ. They come from all walks of life, those with experience helping those with less experience. They do physical labour for Christ working for congregations and other church-related organizations at the minimum wage of that province. They help build churches, schools, parish halls, retirement homes, camp facilities; anything that needs building to further our church's ministry in bringing the Good News of Jesus Christ to the people of our country.

Some rostered members of Labourers For Christ have a recreational vehicle (RV) that they move to the work site for the duration of the project. If someone does not have an RV, the congregation will provide billeting or trailer accommodations.

Labourers For Christ rostered members who are employed by a congregation attend worship services and take part in activities just as they would in their home congregations. As called, committed servants of Christ they help further His Kingdom through their labour, their daily witness and by displaying the joy that worshipping together brings. They are further strengthened in His Word through daily group devotions.

The organizational body is composed of a Director ( whose appointment is approved by the Board of Directors of Lutheran Church-Canada), an Advisory Committee made up of an Executive Secretary, Synodical District Representatives (one from each District), Consultant, Synod Contact Person, Secretary to the Advisory Committee, and a Publicist along with their spouses, if applicable. These people volunteer their time to maintain the program, but do have their expenses covered.
