Dear Partner in Ministry,
You have pivoted your ministry plans for over 6 months now – reimagining worship, expanding technical skills you didn’t know you had, finding innovative ways to reach out to your people. I am amazed by your creativity, your faith and your stamina. And I hear you. You are tired. We want to help.
A message we continue to hear loud and clear from Lutheran congregations this year is that your love for your neighbors around the globe continues to grow during this pandemic … and yet you can’t quite engage in outreach ministry the way you always have.
But our staff is still on the ground in the hardest to reach places around the world ensuring that your love – and the love of thousands of other Lutheran congregations – is still reaching our neighbors. (Read about one of these staff members here.)
We built this webpage specifically for congregational leaders to find powerful videos and resources to share with your congregation. On this page, you’ll find a variety of ways for your congregation to tap into this ministry. And while you're here, don't forget to sign up for congregational leader email updates so we can let you know when we have new resources ready for you.
It is our deep joy to be in partnership with you and help your congregation bring God’s kingdom into this world. We won’t stop … until your congregation’s love reaches every neighbor.
