Pastor Fabrizio Perez, right, describes the disaster-relief work he and others in the Confessional Lutheran Church of Chile did in this now-empty refugee camp in Constitución, Chile, following the 2010 earthquake and tsunami. With funding from the LCMS, Lutherans in Chile provided emergency housing for some 1,000 displaced people. Listening, from left, are Ezeguielton Rieder of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Paraguay; the Rev. Elias Lozano, president of the Lutheran Church of Venezuela; the Rev. Christian Hoffmann, president of the Lutheran Church of Uruguay; and the Rev. Reubens Ogg, secretary for the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Brazil. All were participants at the disaster-response conference in Santiago, Chile. (LCMS Communications/Pamela J. Nielsen)
