Shared Ministry Travels North for Mission Effort in Kansas


Pastors Karl Johnson and Glenn Hohlt, pastors at the Shared Lutheran Ministry of Fayette County, have traveled to Greensburg, Kansas (where a tornado recently caused major damage) and are served as chaplains (from June 2 to June 8). You can read about their trip on Pastor Karl’s blog at www.myspace/sharedministry (click on the blog entries in the right hand column).
The following is from the Shared Lutheran Ministry web site:

If you would like to help, here are some options:
+ Donations of money and gift cards;
+ Donations for travel expenses for the pastors and others for future trips;
+ Pray, read your Bible, reflect on what you read, and talk with others about what God's
call to discipleship means for us.

Pastor Glenn has responded with Lutheran Disaster Response for several years, and the Coordinator assigned to Greensburg is a friend of his. Pastor Karl traveled for a week in El Salvador after they experienced two earthquakes in 2002. Pastor Glenn and Pastor Karl both feel a strong sense call to help in Kansas. We hope you will help as you are able. The journey will be challenging and difficult, but it will undoubtedly be filled with blessings as we reach out to our neighbors in Kansas.
