What is the mission of Lutheran World Relief?
Founded by lutherans in the united states at the end of world war ii, grounded in lutheran theology and building on decades of experience, lutheran world relief tackles global poverty by helping people adapt to the challenges that threaten their livelihoods and well-being. The lutheran world federation (lwf; german: lutherischer weltbund ) is a global communion of national and regional lutheran denominations headquartered in the ecumenical centre in geneva, switzerland.
