EVENTS ABROAD

Refugee Resettlement

In 1999, we helped a refugee family from Bosnia begin a new and better life in America. We helped them get a home, find a job, learn English, and assisted with other aspects of their transition to life in our country. We look to help other refugee families in the future.

CROP

We participate in the annual CROP Walk for World Hunger.

Russia

We provide financial support to help rebuild the Lutheran Church in Russia after its years of persecution under communism. We oversee the collection of funds from all over the USA to help Lutheran churches in the Russian Far East. Pr. Biles has been teaching classes at the Lutheran Seminary in St. Petersburg since it opened in 1997. St. Paul coordinates the USA Appeal for Lutheran Churches in the Russian Far East. This appeal sends over $30,000 a year to support the revival of the Lutheran Church in the Russian Far East.

Manow Seminary

This school helps train pastors for the Lutheran Church in Tanzania. It is part of the Konde Diocese in Tanzania, which has an official relationship with our Lower Susquehanna Synod.

Mexico Mission Trips

We support Constructores Para Christo, an organization that combines a spiritual retreat with building homes for the poor in Mexico. In 2002 and 2003, 24 of our members went on a mission trip to Piedras Negras, Mexico to support this organization and build a home for a family. We have done a trip every year since. For more information on this trip contact the church office at (717) 225-3466.
