The Lutheran Church – Missouri Synod’s (LCMS) Disaster Response ministry serves thousands of individuals and families all over the world who are experiencing loss in the wake of both natural and man-made disasters. They respond to immediate and long-term needs, building their partners’ capacity to respond with Christian care to the needs within the church and their communities.

To increase the capacity of districts and their congregations to respond and reach out with Christ’s Mercy, LCMS Disaster Response is developing RV Rapid Response Centers along the Gulf Coast, expanding feeding ministry, and providing advance trauma kits and AEDs for use in case of immediate emergency.

Grant dollars from the LCMS Impact Fund and generous gifts from our donors help make this possible. For Impact Funds Thrivent Charitable conducts an invitation-based grantmaking process, for more information review our nonprofit resources.
