Focus: Mercy


Did you know you bear
Christ’s mercy in the world?


God’s mercy is sealed for us in the resurrection of Christ Jesus, flowing to us through His Word and Sacraments.

This mercy causes us to search for ways to share the gifts of Jesus with others.

This is our life together — serving under the Risen Savior, proclaiming the Good News of the resurrection as we care for people.

It is what He has called us to do. It is what He does through us, the body of Christ, the holy Christian Church.

Walking alongside you in this mercy work are the Mercy Ministries of the LCMS, ready to equip and enable you to care for your neighbor in body and soul through training, resources, encouragement and increasing capacity.

Like those who witnessed the resurrected Jesus we live in joyful hope and confidence, knowing that all the gifts of God belong to us and are intended by Him to be shared with others.

God bless our walking and mercy-bearing together in Christ’s name!

 

Prayer

Father of mercy and God of all consolation, remember in kindness the numerous ministries of mercy that our Synod sponsors, both at home and abroad. Through them, may many come to know and rejoice in Your tender care and love. We ask this in the name of Jesus, whose compassion fed the hungry, healed the sick and comforted the sorrowing. Amen.

The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod Inc., including Mission Central (in Mapleton, Iowa), is an IRS registered 501(c)(3) tax-exempt charity.

A contribution designated (restricted) for a specific purpose, when accepted, will be used only to fund expenses related to that purpose. Occasionally, we may receive more in contributions for a particular purpose than can be wisely applied to it in the foreseeable future or the purpose may cease to be feasible. In these situations, the LCMS will make reasonable attempts to contact contributors to apply their contribution toward another aspect of ministry that aligns closely the contributor’s goals and values. If a contributor cannot be contacted, the LCMS will use the gift to meet a similar pressing need that most closely matches the contributor's original intent.

Consistent with Synod Board policy and in recognition of a more challenging economic and philanthropic/fundraising environment due to inflationary pressure, not more than 13.5 percent of any charitable contribution will be allocated to administering gifts and communicating with contributors. Contributions received and accepted by the LCMS are deemed to be in agreement with this statement.
