As you know, significant disasters have ravaged Oklahoma, Texas, Missouri, and the Mississippi River region this past week.
For example, news from Joplin indicates that Immanuel Lutheran School is structurally unsafe to enter, four teachers lost their homes, the parsonage lost its roof and has structural damage, and a few members lost their homes.

The church through the ages has given generously to assist brothers and sisters in need. If the Spirit moves you, please click on this link to donate. One hundred percent (100%) of the moneys donated will be forwarded to the LC-MS Lutheran Churches in the area to use where most needed.
Interestingly enough, God through His Word seems to intentionally bless those who give in wise, intentional ways to the needy.
Proverbs 11:24-25
One man gives freely, yet gains even more; another withholds unduly, but comes to poverty. A generous man will prosper; he who refreshes others will himself be refreshed.
