Going Farther, Staying Longer: Celebrating 80 Years of LWR
In 1945, our Lutheran forebearers joined together to be the Body of Christ in the world, responding boldly to the needs of our neighbors in Europe after World War II. When they founded Lutheran World Relief, the outpouring of love was immense. Our grandparents got busy sewing LWR Mission Quilts, assembling kits and organizing fundraising drives.
Within just 14 years, American Lutherans had provided more than $100 million worth of aid. And we were just getting started.
With each passing year, God has opened our hearts to the ever-growing needs in our hurting world, and our ministry has grown. Today, together, we go where no one else goes — to the front lines of war, and to places even cars can't reach. And we stay as long as we’re needed to help families recover and rebuild.
Thank you for continuing the legacy of love that began 80 years ago … until your love reaches every neighbor. Learn more about Lutheran World Relief’s history at https://lwr.org/80
