You will be in relationship with 125+ congregations that share God's love through Lutheran World Relief (LWR) and want to partner with us in our mission to end poverty, injustice and human suffering. You will make meaningful connections with congregational leaders and develop and grow gifts of $5,000 or more. Some days will include connecting with pastors over the phone or by email. Other days will include travelling to churches across the United States to deepen engagement with LWR. You will preach and speak in congregations about the lifesaving difference that their generosity can make when they share their love with our neighbors through LWR. In a world of plenty, those with the very least are the most forsaken. In this role, you will inspire others to put faith in action and be a critical part of helping us solve this global problem
