The Coffee Hour from KFUO Radio Responding to the Southern California Wildfires
How is the LCMS responding to the devastating wildfires in Southern California? First, the Rev. Dr. Ross Johnson, Director of LCMS Disaster Response, joins Andy and Sarah to talk about his recent visit to Southern California and the impact of the fires, how the disaster has affected LCMS congregations and members, how LCMS Disaster Response is partnering with the Pacific Southwest District and congregations to help, and the long-term outlook for service in the community. Then, the Rev. Dominic Rivkin, Mission Executive with the LCMS Pacific Southwest District, joins Andy and Sarah to help us understand the LCMS Pacific Southwest District and the territory it covers, the area impacted by the devastating fires, the communities that have been affected, how congregations are coming together to support each other, and how the District will continue responding to the disaster.
