Helping those affected by hurricanes

What is the best way for us to help our sister congregations and their members who have been affected by Hurricane Harvey? Of course we are praying and will continue to do that. What help is given in a disaster on the Synod level? Through congregations? Through individuals? Thank you and God Bless.

I can suggest that you consider making a donation to our synod’s Christian Aid and Relief.

As stated elsewhere on this web site, “The mission of Christian Aid and Relief is to reflect Christ’s love and compassion to souls suffering from disasters and hardships. Because of what Christ has freely done for us, we eagerly show we care by offering our time, talents, and treasures to those in need.”

Monetary gifts to Christian Aid and Relief are precious in helping those affected by Hurricane Harvey and now Hurricane Irma.

This link will take you to the site where you can make an online donation for “Hurricane Disaster Relief.”

“Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers” (Galatians 6:10). We have a significant opportunity at the present time. “Let us do good.”
