The following information has been received from the LCMS California Nevada Hawaii District office:
· The people of Emmanuel Lutheran Church, Kahului, Maui are providing immediate response, sharing needed goods and services, and assisting school families who are housing displaced people.
· Two staff from Lutheran Church Charities are deployed to Maui. They will help to organize a response effort able to be sustained by Emmanuel and supported by the CNH and the greater LCMS.
· Infusions of relief dollars from your CNH Disaster Fund, LCMS Disaster Relief, local congregations, individual donors, Orphan Grain Train, and LCEF are enabling a growing response.
· We hope to deploy crisis counseling personnel to assist in ministering to survivors and caretakers, sponsored by LCMS Disaster Relief and the CNH.
How You Can Help:
· Pray for those so horrifically affected, those mourning, and strength for caregivers.
· Encourage those you may know on Maui with texts, cards, and emails. Let them know you are remembering them and praying for them.
· Share a gift to support relief work and recovery.
