In reply to gerald kurio.

Gerald, thank you for your concern and caring for the people of the Philippines. Right now, the focus is on assessment and emergency relief. It will be quite some time before recovery can begin. If you would like to use your gifts to help victims of disaster right now, you can consider helping those who were affected by the flooding in Colorado or the tornadoes in Oklahoma. If you are interested in helping out in this way, please contact us at infocenter@lcms.org for more information.

We appreciate your prayers for everyone affected by this tragedy. Please consider donating to the LCMS Disaster Response fund to make resources immediately available as needs are discovered. You can make a donation online at www.lcms.org, or send it by mail to the address below.
