July - ELCA Refugee Resettlement Program
We are a church that does God’s work in
the world and in local communities pursuing justice,
peace and human dignity for and with all people. In
partnership with Lutheran congregations and Lutheran
social ministry organizations, Lutheran Immigration and
Refugee Service has welcomed more than 379,000 refugees
to the United States since 1939. This ongoing
partnership and work is driven by God’s love for all
people and a vision for congregations to be welcoming
and generous centers for mission and ministry. The work
of the ELCA through Lutheran Immigration and Refugee
Service includes responding to people caught in conflict
and facing persecution, advocating for their needs and
interests, helping people access resources for basic
human needs, working with foster care programs for
minors, legal assistance, developing new and innovative
service programs and partnerships, and much more. For
almost 80 years, Lutheran Immigration and Refugee
Service has been a champion for refugees and migrants
from around the globe. Our legacy of compassionate
service has made a difference in the lives of hundreds
of thousands of people who have found safety and hope in
America’s communities. Join us in this courageous work
of serving and loving our neighbors in the name of Jesus
Christ. Your gift today will allow us to continue this
life-saving work. Learn more about us and what we do at:
