The Trinity Lutheran Church Disaster Response Team in Tyler ministers to the spiritual and physical needs of those affected by disasters by compassionately listening to the stories of people affected by the storms and sharing the love of Christ in Word and assistance. This mission grant will provide spiritual materials, new equipment, and equipment maintenance.

Gracious Lord, You are the Master Builder, the One who builds everything on a strong foundation. Yet, we know the things built here on earth with human hands are temporary and weak to the storms of this world. We pray this mission grant will help to meet the spiritual and physical needs of those affected by disaster. Grant the Disaster Response Team of Trinity Lutheran Church, Tyler, the ability to listen to those suffering, and open the door for Christ’s love, mercy, grace, and salvation to be shared through restoration efforts. Equip Your servants, Lord, to be Your hands and feet, as they share Your love to those in need. In Your merciful name we pray. Amen.
