LCMS President Rev. Dr. Matthew C. Harrison pauses during the International Lutheran Council’s World Seminaries Conference in Germany to give an overview of the Synod’s response to Hurricane Matthew, which includes aid to victims in both Haiti and the Synod’s Southeastern District. After strengthening to Category 5, Hurricane Matthew later became a Category-4 storm with reported destructive winds in excess of 140 miles per hour as it moved through the Caribbean and up the U.S. southeastern coastline.
