LHF Mission Speakers
There’s a new Reformation going on! All around the world, Christians young and old are being introduced to Luther’s Small Catechism and other Lutheran materials, translated and published by the Lutheran Heritage Foundation.
LHF speakers will come to your church, free of charge, to tell how new Lutherans are embracing sound doctrine and begging for more materials to be translated into their languages. They will also share how your congregation can play a part in this important mission.
To schedule an LHF speaker for your church’s mission rally, Bible study, or other special event, call (800)554-0723.

Rev. Dr. Matthew Heise
As an LCMS missionary for 12 years in the former Soviet Union, Rev. Heise saw firsthand the value of having good Lutheran books in the languages of the people. “The work that LHF does is taking the Scripture to the ends of the earth.”
Rev. Dr. Robert Rahn
When the Soviet Union fell, Rev. Rahn founded LHF to bring Lutheran materials in their language to those denied the faith. Today, Rev. Rahn serves as congregations’ connection to the work LHF is doing in mission fields around the world.
Rev. Dr. Ted NaThalang
Born a Buddhist in Thailand, Rev. NaThalang converted to Christianity when his widowed mother married an American Lutheran. Today, he frequently returns to Southeast Asia to coordinate LHF translations and spread the Gospel.
Rev. Dr. Dinku Bato
The son of first-generation Christians in Ethiopia, Rev. Dr. Bato has a passion for sharing good Lutheran teachings in Africa and to African immigrants in the United States.
Rev. Mark Moss
Rev. Moss brings a wealth of experience to the LHF staff, including a rich education in translation principles and three years’ Bible translation supervision in Sierra Leone; several assignments as an LCMS theological educator in Nigeria and Ghana; and 20 years’ experience as a military chaplain in the U.S. Chaplain Corps, where he traveled the world and interacted with people and cultures from Bahrain to Japan, Iraq to Alaska.
