Due to escalating conflict in Gaza and Israel, a severe humanitarian crisis is rapidly unfolding in the Holy Land. The ELCA has a longstanding relationship with partners in the region, including the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Jordan and the Holy Land and Augusta Victoria Hospital. Lutheran Disaster Response has a history of providing support for our partners and will be prepared to answer calls for assistance when the time comes.

To support Lutheran Disaster Response, you can GIVE HERE online, or look for the bulletin insert on Sunday. Gifts designated for “Middle East Crisis” will be restricted to and used in full (100%) for those affected by disasters in the region.
