The Greater Milwaukee Synod and its congregations work to build relationships with Salvadoran Lutheran Church congregations and communities based on an accompaniment model. Our relationships are built on mutual support, friendship, and prayer. Frequent letters, phone calls, emails and visits keep our relationships alive. We respond to each other's needs, including our sharing of financial resources for development projects that further the ministries of the Salvadoran Lutheran Church.

• Lucha Contra el Hambre - Fight Against Hunger in El Salvador ~ Sustainable food-producing business projects (2007 to present)


• Contenidor de Esperanza - Container of Hope ~ the story of a shipping container filled with supplies to help start small business cooperatives and to support education and wellness (2004-2005)


• Caravan of Hope ~ a response to the 2001 earthquakes in El Salvador with housing materials, tools and emergency supplies

 

Milwaukee synod congregations with congregation-to-congregation relationships are encouraged to meet with their Salvadoran partners to vision-cast together. If ideas for development projects arise, Salvadoran Lutheran Church leaders and the Greater Milwaukee Synod El Salvador committee help to provide information and guidance to congregation and community leaders.
