LCMS World Relief and Human Care – ‘Sharing’ newsletter – Second Issue of 2025

St. Paul says, “He who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will supply and multiply your seed for sowing and increase the harvest of your righteousness. You will be enriched in every way to be generous in every way, which through us will produce thanksgiving to God. For the ministry of this service is not only supplying the needs of the saints but is also overflowing in many thanksgivings to God” (2 Cor. 9:10–12).

Your generous support of LCMS World Relief and Human Care has helped deliver the Savior’s mercy to people in need — in a variety of ways and situations. In this year’s second issue of the Sharing newsletter, read about how this care made a difference in people’s lives following two devastating natural disasters:

Wildfires that destroyed thousands of homes and businesses in Los Angeles County in January.

A series of typhoons that caused widespread flooding, landslides and destruction in the Philippines in late 2024.

“I would like to express our heartfelt gratitude for the help extended by the LCMS,” said the Rev. Antonio Reyes, president of the Lutheran Church in the Philippines. “It was indeed a blessing — an expression of deep concern and love for those who suffered the aftermath of the strong typhoons that came to our country. Your kindness will always be treasured in our hearts.”
