Lutheran World Relief is urgently requesting contributions for its aid programs in Iraq. LWR provides international assistance on behalf of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America and the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod. LWR relief efforts in Iraq have been underway for months, but contributions are especially needed now that war has begun. LWR is working in partnership with Action by Churches Together (ACT), a worldwide emergency alliance of churches, to coordinate crisis aid in Iraq.
Contributions to the LWR Iraq relief effort may be made by calling 1-800-LWR-LWR-2, on the Internet at http://www.lwr.org/, or by mailing a check or money order to Lutheran World Relief - Iraq/Mid-East Crisis, PO Box 17061, Baltimore, MD 21298-9832.
