Dear friend,
Yesterday we celebrated LWML Sunday, an annual highlighting of the work of our Lutheran Women in Mission. These faithful servants are active in projects close to home, around Bethlehem and Palestine, and also in projects around the nation and the world. They provide physical help and relief in urgent situations, and they bring the truth and love of Christ to many.
Do you know that the national LWML has designated 33 projects for support in 2025-2027? Here are the first three they are committed to fulfilling right up front:
1. Regional Disaster Response LERT Shower Trailers — LCMS Office of National Mission, Disaster Response Ministry, U.S. — $81,500
2. Help for Ukraine’s Orphans and Displaced Persons — Orphan Grain Train, Europe — $100,000
3. Portable Laundry Trailer — Forged by Fire Services, U.S. — $100,700
All told, their Mission Grant goal over the next two years is $2,622,270. This is a phenomenal display of faith and generosity, and an inspiring example for all of us!
In Christ,
Pastor Heckmann
