Bringing Healing, Help and Hope...

through disaster preparedness and response

What is Lutheran Disaster Response?

Lutheran Disaster Response (LDR) is collaborative ministry of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America and The Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod.  In North Dakota, the LDR affiliate is Lutheran Social Services of North Dakota (LSS). 

The National Office of Lutheran Disaster Response operates through a network of forty different organizations such as LSS ND with which LDR has a memorandum of understanding.

LDR ND responds to disasters in North Dakota and when requested, nationally.  Our focus also includes preparedness as a vital part of disaster response.  At the time of crisis is the time to execute a well-thought out plan, not to devise one.
