How to help
NOTE:
Because the LCMS typically receives nearly half of its annual charitable
support in the months of November and December, we encourage donors to
prayerfully consider a gift to LCMS Disaster Response that is in addition to any planned year-end gift intended to help sustain the ongoing witness and mercy work of the Synod.

About Disaster Relief
The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod's disaster response ministry
responds to immediate and long-term needs following natural and man-made
disasters, working through LCMS districts and congregations,
international Lutheran churches and other partners. We build partners’
capacity to respond with Christian care to needs within the church and
their communities with the following services:
- On-site assessment
- Emergency, relief and development grants
- Pastoral care for LCMS church workers and members
- Congregational Preparedness and Lutheran Early Response Team (LERT) training
- Resources (volunteer coordination, donation and equipment management)
The last decade was an unprecedented time for LCMS disaster response
efforts with multi-million dollar responses to 9-11, Hurricane Katrina,
the tsunami in Asia, earthquake in Haiti and hundreds of other national
and international disasters.
God calls us to be His hands reaching out to bring what peace, relief
and assistance we can to those who suffer the devastating effects of
disasters. Your gifts for “Disaster Relief” provide a constant resource
of funds that can instantly be made available to help those in need.
