African partners Suffering
effects of deadly Ebola virus
In answer to requests for help and reaching out in Christ’s
mercy, The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod has given three grants — to Lutherans
in Guinea and Liberia as well as to Lutheran World Relief — to assist people
affected by the outbreak of Ebola in West Africa.
The effects of the deadly Ebola virus are “being suffered
and felt in many ways” — including the deaths of two Lutherans suspected of
having the disease, according to the Rev. Amos Bolay, president and bishop of
the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Liberia (ELCL).
The grants, totaling $51,175, include $25,000 to the ELCL;
$20,000 to Lutheran World Relief; and $6,175 to the Evangelical Lutheran Church
of Guinea. The grants follow two previous grants totaling $16,554, distributed
to the Synod’s African partners earlier this year.
