Dear Partner in Ministry, <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here are the top three things you need to know to share this great news with your congregation: <\/p>\n\n\n\n And please extend our gratitude to your quilters and kit-makers. Because of the care and generosity of Lutheran congregations across the country, we will be air-lifting Personal Care Kits and Mission Quilts that were pre-positioned in our Dubai warehouse as part of our first response. <\/strong>These urgently needed supplies will reach Ukrainian families who have fled for safety. We expect that our initial response will include providing food, shelter and emergency funds for refugees, in addition to supporting critical health needs through the provision of medical supplies or support for emergency medical services. <\/p>\n\n\n\n We plan to respond in Ukraine, in neighboring countries hosting Ukrainian refugees, and in other countries suffering from the inevitable ripple effects, like fuel and food disruptions. We have committed at least $1 million to this critical response effort \u2014 but we cannot do it without congregations like yours, willing to share God\u2019s love with our neighbors in crisis.<\/strong>\u202fAt this time, financial gifts are the number one need to assist refugees on the move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Thank you for all the ways you are inspiring generosity in your congregation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Until your love reaches every neighbor, Lutheran World Relief<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Dear Partner in Ministry, Wow!
