WHEN EVERYTHING IS LOST, YOU CAN ENSURE HOPE ISN’T.
How your congregation can help neighbors in crisis.
Since 1945, congregations like yours have been a lifeline for our neighbors in crisis near and far...
WHO WILL YOUR LOVE REACH NEXT?
Your congregation’s generosity helps neighbors with their immediate and urgent needs following a disaster. But it also supports the longer-term needs that happen in the aftermath as those impacted struggle to rebuild and recover in communities that have been destroyed. This longer-term help empowers communities to become stronger and better prepared for future disasters.
As you plan your year-end giving, will you consider a special 80th anniversary gift to help your neighbors find the hope stolen by disaster?
$10,000 $7,500 $2,000 $ Any gift continues your Lutheran legacy of love. Feeds 10 families of four for a week in the aftermath of an emergency. Sends medical supplies for 100 neighbors in places where access to lifesaving health care is greatly limited.
Houses 50 families for a month.
South Sudan
Because of congregations like yours, critical medical care extends to our hardest-to-reach neighbors and provides hope for mothers like Nyadech in South Sudan who have faced armed conflict and extreme weather changes.
Congregations like yours provide life-sustaining support, including emergency food assistance, and dignity to those recovering from tornadoes throughout the U.S.
The need is great, but so is your congregation’s love.
Dear Partner in Ministry,
Thank you for leading your congregation to be a beacon of hope for neighbors in need.
We are living in unprecedented times. Funding shrinks while needs grow. Crises are more frequent, disasters more severe and conflict touches more lives than ever.
Yet, I remain hopeful — because of your partnership.
When floods devastated central Texas, help reached our neighbors within hours. How? Because the support of congregations like yours enables us to respond where and when we are needed most.
For 80 years, Lutherans have been a light for those grappling in darkness. Will you continue this legacy of love until we reach every neighbor?
In gratitude,
REV. LISA KIPP Director of Congregational Engagement lkipp@lwr.org
Until your love reaches every neighbor.
