Fortifying the Future

Like all Lutheran World Relief staff who must travel the world where we work, I sometimes hate being away so far and for so long, from family and from the office—though with Jeff Whisenant holding down the helm at LWR, we’re steered well.

The time away is redeemed, however, by the promise of fortifying our diakonic partnerships to serve the most vulnerable. For example, partnerships with churches will be one way to spread the information and interventions that will help to stamp out malaria as the number one killer of children globally. That promise, that children might have a future with dignity makes it all worthwhile. I really hope my own children read this entry.
