Serving the World

The Board of Stewardship will introduce a new world mission focus in the spring of 2021. Stay tuned!

Our World Mission Focus for 2020:  Lutheran World Relief (find more information and provide support at lwr.org)

At Lutheran World Relief, they envision a future where all people, in every corner of the world can live full, dignified lives.

Founded by Lutherans in the United States at the end of World War II, grounded in Lutheran theology and building on decades of experience, Lutheran World Relief tackles global poverty by helping people adapt to the challenges that threaten their livelihoods and well-being.

They work with people based on need, regardless of race, religion or nationality and they do not evangelize.

They provide aid in emergencies and help families restore their lives. They partner with communities to build and grow rural economies. They break the cycle of poverty, so families and communities can thrive.

Their goal is to help people build self‐sufficiency and create new community‐owned approaches to problem‐solving that will last long after their projects end.
