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.
