Being part of the House of Prayer community means being connected to Lutherans from the US and from all over the world. Part of the gifts that we collect in this community continues on to the national church (Evangelical Lutheran Church in America) so that they are able to do ministry all over the world. Literally, the ELCA saves lives. Through its many branches, the ELCA provides medical support, disaster relief, and missionary work all over the world. Millions of people are aided by the work that we do through the ELCA. If you would like to know more about the ELCA, you may check out the website: www.elca.org
