The 2025 Lenten Challenge supports Lutheran Disaster Response (LDR) and our Church’s call to respond to nonconventional disasters, including the work at Navajo Evangelical Lutheran Mission (NELM). NELM is a 70-year-old ministry of the ELCA in Rock Point, AZ, where more than half the households either do not have running water or do not have access to safe drinking water.
The 5 ELCA synods in the western US (Region 2) are challenging one another to raise funds through LDR in support of water projects at NELM. The challenge: Participate in some spiritual and physical practices during the 40 days of Lent. The synod with the most individual participants wins!
