Eight of our people will be going on a mission trip to Joplin, Missouri. We will be building homes for the elderly. Joplin is a city that was devastated by an EF5 tornado last May 22nd and we will be there on the first anniversary of that storm.

Grace Baptist Church has mentioned many times how much they appreciate all the support that the Lutheran Church of Peace has given over the past year. The latest thing they purchased with money we sent is a wood splitter. This has been very helpful to those who are still cleaning up the fallen trees and making firewood that is purposeful. Keep them in your prayers.
