Cross-stitch-The Network Aiding ELS Home and Foreign Missions
More than ever we must be willing to share the Gospel of Christ with all people, the wounded world. We have orphanages that need our help with the basic necessities of life. Things we take for granted. Food, Clothing, and Shelter. There are students at our jungle schools who need to be fed. Please remember the children in our synod in your prayers and with your gifts.

Save me, and I will be saved.” Jeremiah 17:14
