Lutheran World Relief Backpack Ministry

---

Why school supplies?

The backpack ministry means the difference  between getting an education or not where Lutheran World Relief  missionaries are located in needed countries.  In a typical year, Faith members  fill close to 200 backpacks with school supplies.  

Want to participate? Take home an empty backpack  and fill it with:

•  4 (70 sheet notebooks)
• 1 - 12inch ruler
• 1 pencil  sharpener
• 1 blunt scissors
• 5 black or blue ballpoint pens
• 5  unsharpened #2 pencils
• 1 box 16 or 24 crayons
• 1 - 2.5 inch eraser.   

This ministry is done in August and September of each year and the filled backpack is brought back to Faith church.
