AMMPARO

In a holistic, whole church commitment by the ELCA, as a church in the world, AMMPARO was envisioned to accompany children today and in the future who are forced to flee their communities because of complex and interrelated reasons, including chronic violence, poverty, environmental displacement and lack of opportunities in El Salvador, Honduras and Guatemala.

Public Engagement Within the Church

IThe ELCA is a publicly engaged church that rolls up our sleeves and gets to work. We do God’s work in the world,  the work of restoring and reconciling communities. We pursue justice and seek peace no matter how long the journey or wide the chasm. Because we are grounded in God’s love and forgiveness, we are well equipped to live and serve here and now, in the world. Find ways here to get connected to a community of faith and the work of our publicly engaged church through advocacy, racial justice and creation care ministries, social issues, and many more ways to love and serve our neighbor.
