Serving Others Because Christ First Served Us
Mercy in Action: Our Diaconal Work
The Gospel is not only preached — it is lived. Through mercy work, the Mission of Lutheran Churches helps carry Christ’s love to those in need. From food gardens and kindergartens to trauma care and skills development, our work seeks to meet practical needs without losing sight of the spiritual hope that only Christ provides.

How You Can Help
Our diaconal work relies on prayer, practical support, and faithful volunteers. Whether you can donate supplies, sponsor a child’s education, or help with farming and training, your involvement makes a lasting difference.
Let us not love in word or talk but in deed and in truth. — 1 John 3:18
