Join us this fall, Nov. 6-16, on a trip to Central Europe to see God’s work firsthand in Hungary, Slovakia and Poland. You will witness ministries with refugees, meet with teachers in the Central Europe Teachers Program, and learn about the context and culture of Lutherans in Central Europe. You will find community in our siblings in Christ, rejuvenate your vision for the church and witness the powerful impact of companion relationships at work in the world. Click here for the brochure.

More than 85% of gifts supports program work, with less than 15% for fundraising and administration. Our longstanding partnerships across the United States and around the world help us deliver excellent results with modest administrative costs. Gifts designated for a specific disaster through Lutheran Disaster Response, such as tornadoes, hurricane response or wildfires, are used 100% for that disaster.
