	World Relief seeks volunteers

	LCMS World Relief/Human Care is compiling the names of
volunteers to assist Hurricane Katrina survivors through opportunities
to provide housing and help with future clean-up and recovery efforts.

	* Housing: Individuals and congregations who want to offer
housing for those displaced by the hurricane are asked to send an e-mail
to the ministry at lcms.housing@lcms.org. Include your name, phone
number, and the type of housing you can provide (apartment, house,
etc.), maximum occupancy, available dates and mailing address. Once
needs are assessed, LCMS World Relief/Human Care will match refugees
with volunteers. Hurricane survivors seeking housing also may contact
the ministry at (800) 248-1930, Ext. 1380 or 1381, or via e-mail at
lcms.housing@lcms.org.

	* Recovery and clean-up: Individuals and congregations willing
to assist with future recovery efforts are urged to contact the ministry
at lcms.volunteer@lcms.org. Include your name, address, and phone
number, length of time you are available, and, if applicable, any
special skills you can provide (pastoral care, medical, counseling,
child care, etc.).

	LCMS World Relief/Human Care is the arm of The Lutheran
Church--Missouri Synod devoted to disaster relief, development, and care
of those in need. For more information about the ministry's hurricane
relief efforts, visit its Web site at worldrelief.lcms.org
