We particularly remember our fellow Chinese Lutheran churches and ministries in the region at Emmaus Lutheran Church, Shepherd of the Hills Lutheran Church, Loving Savior Lutheran Church, First Evangelical Lutheran Church, Holy Trinity Lutheran Church, Mt. Calvary Lutheran Church, and Our Savior Lutheran Church. May God grant them strength to share Jesus' love with spiritual and physical support to their affected neighbors.
