About Us What We Do Resources Get Involved Make a Gift   Your gifts are needed to help tornado survivors in Joplin, Mo., where one of the deadliest twisters in U. S. history killed more than 100 people on May 22. Businesses and neighborhoods are leveled, including the homes of four teachers at Martin Luther School and some of the school's families. The school and the Immanuel Lutheran Church parsonage also were damaged by this horrific storm, the latest in an onslaught of violent weather that has devastated Midwestern and Southern communities this spring. As search and rescue efforts continue, the death toll is expected to climb. The LCMS World Relief and Human Care Disaster Response team is preparing to travel to the battered southwestern Missouri city on May 25 to help assess needs and offer spiritual care. Because of the unusually high demand for LCMS Tornado Disaster Relief funds, the Synod's mercy arm is greatly in need of your help. Rev. Glenn F. Merritt, director of Disaster Response, says the challenges are huge in Joplin, but he is confident that our fellow LCMS members will respond with care and compassion. Thank you! Rev. John A. Fale Interim Executive Director LCMS World Relief and Human Care       P.S. Please tell your pastor of this urgent need to help and ask him to include the people of Joplin in your congregation's prayers. Any funds not needed for these relief efforts will be used for other disaster purposes as determined by LCMS World Relief and Human Care. Gifts are tax deductible to the extent permitted by law.
