Books to Support the Lutheran Church of Peru
Our companion church, La Iglesia Luterana del Perú (IL-P) works to educate members and others in the Lutheran faith. IL-P leaders have asked if we might help them with the purchase of books. Please consider a gift to support this request, either personally or as a Sunday School, women's group or congregation. We have sent samples of books in Spanish from Augsburg Fortress to IL-P and they have said they are excited about the possibility of putting them all to use. Please make checks to “La Crosse Area Synod” marked “Books for Peru”. ¡Gracias!

Partners in Ministry
We are blessed by the support we receive from more than 800 Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) congregations throughout Wisconsin and Upper Michigan. Many congregations work with us to change lives by “adopting” a program or service, conducting service projects to support a specific program, hosting Shared Ministry events, providing financial support, referring individuals to our services, and keeping our organization in their prayers. |
