Pres. Em. Dr. John Lawrenz with the Lord. (26.08.43-22.09.24)

It pleased the Lord to call his servant, Dr. John Lawrenz to his eternal home in heaven. Throughout his life, Dr. Lawrenz impacted many around the world – from his teaching in America, Europe, and Asia. We are especially thankful for his service in Hong Kong from 2003-2013. During this time, God used him to start Asia Lutheran Seminary and to build it into the institution it is today. In each of his classes and workshops, he brought a passion for the lost, a love for God’s word, clear teaching of the Old Testament, and the importance of the reformation and the teachings of the Lutheran church. We are thankful for his life of service and join his family in looking forward to a joyous resurrection. May God be with all who mourn.
