Dr. Stephen Lutz & family

The Lutz family serve in Papua New Guinea, the world's most ethnically and linguistically complex country, with roughly 1,000 people groups speaking more than 800 languages! In this unique nation, strong tribal ties have often led to conflict. Steve is a medical missionary. Papua New Guinea is one of the few LCMS mission fields to have a medical mission with a resident doctor. The medical ministry provides many oportunities for evangelism.
