Help Provide for Refugees from Ukraine

Working with Faith Lutheran’s Mission Partners

Ukrainian refugees are fleeing to many countries, including Germany and Estonia, where long-time mission partners of Faith Lutheran are preparing to give them shelter, food and the love of Christ. These trustworthy, efficient missions are great avenues to provide aid directly to those who are suffering.

Katie Weikle, the daughter of Owen and Maria, and sister of Laura Stowman, Faith’s Director of Children and Family Ministries, helps to lead a training center for Youth with a Mission in Nuremberg, Germany. She has asked for assistance in their efforts to house and feed refugees who have fled from Ukraine to Germany. The center has plans to welcome up to 40 of these desperate people and extend the love of Christ to them in countless other ways.

In Estonia, the Tartu Academy of Theology has begun an intensive effort to help meet the needs of some 15,000 refugees who have already fled to Estonia, with many more expected to follow. With funds from congregations like ours, TAT plans to house a small number of refugees at its Home of Hope and to help Estonian Lutheran churches do much more. The Augustana District of LCMC will likely join this effort to work through TAT in Estonia.

To contribute to this urgent need through Faith Lutheran, clearly mark your gift for Ukrainian Refugees or give electronically through Faith website by clicking the “Give” button here and at the top of the page.

All gifts received will be divided equally between YWAM-Nuremberg and the Tartu Academy’s Home of Hope.
