Christian Resource Center

History:  In 2002, Rev. Matthew Harrison, Executive Director of LCMS Human Care approached Iowa District East about the possibility of partnering with them to build a Church and Diaconal Center in Palanga, Lithuania.  Two pastors of our District traveled to Lithuania to take a look at the project.  They reported to the District Board of Directors.  And the 2003 District Convention voted to raise a minimum of $100,000 for this project.  The total cost was projected to be around $500,000.

LCMS Human Care has agreed to provide matching funds.  In September of 2004, we met our goal.  To date we have raised over $147,000 which brings the total to nearly $300,000.  The generosity of God's people is evident.  The Evangelical Lutheran Church in Lithuania hopes to begin this project yet in 2005.  We will continue to help raise funds so that the project will be complete.

This mission project is helping to build relationships between our brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus of the Lithuanian Lutheran Church body and with our individual congregations.  St. Paul wrote: "I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me, and delivered Himself up for me."  Gal. 2:20.  By God's grace and the generosity of His people, we will be able to rejoice when this project is brought to completion!
