Global Mission of the Texas
Louisiana Gulf Coast Synod ELCA

World Hunger
We are part of the ELCA World Hunger initiative. ELCA World Hunger is a comprehensive and sustainable program that uses multiple strategies — relief, development, education and advocacy — to address the root causes of hunger and poverty. ELCA World Hunger responds to neighbors around the corner and around the world.
Malaria Initiative
The Lutheran Malaria Initiative is an unprecedented collaborative effort among the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, The Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod and Lutheran World Relief to mobilize the nearly 8 million Lutherans in the United States to join the battle against malaria — a preventable and treatable disease that kills more than one million people a year.
