In the aftermath of the earthquake and tsunami that have devastated our friends in Japan, our hearts and prayers turn toward the victims there and especially our fellow Christians in the Lutheran Evangelical Christian Church-Japan. If you would like to give a gift to relief efforts in Japan, we encourage you to give your gift through the ELS Board for Christian Service. They will work in conjunction with WELS Committee on Relief in order to give immediate help, as well as to make plans for longer-term relief with a keen eye towards spiritual needs.
You may give online through the link at the bottom of the synod's home page or by mailing your gift to Evangelical Lutheran Synod, 6 Browns Ct, Mankato MN 56001, with "World Needs-Japan" marked in the memo line.
