As increasingly dire news reports stream out of Kathmandu, where the historic city center is in rubble, Lutheran Disaster Response is already working with partners on the ground to begin a response that will last well into the future. Gifts to support this work are needed now!
ELCA Presiding Bishop Elizabeth A. Eaton is requesting prayers "for people affected by the earthquake and its aftershocks, especially as they grieve the loss of loved ones and property."
"Lutheran Disaster Response is committed to long-term disaster response, so our work is just beginning," said the Rev. Daniel Rift, director for the ELCA World Hunger and Disaster Appeal.
