Lutheran Disaster Response shares God's hope, healing and renewal with people whose lives have been disrupted by disasters in the United States and around the world.

Global Mission
The ELCA walks with more than 80 companion churches around the world through deep, long-standing relationships shaped by the practice of accompaniment. We partner with them as they continue growing their work and Christ’s church — by sending missionaries and volunteers, developing new congregations, building up leaders, training evangelists and much more.
