Welcome!

Our Mission is to provide information about and to collect funds for the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Russia and Other States, ELCROS. After 70 years of tyranny and oppression a new church is rising up. The need is urgent and great, however their faith and hope are even greater!

The Mission to St. Marie's Church in Ussurisk, Russia, began with 14 ladies, old ladies, at Gloria Dei Lutheran Church in Wichita, Kansas. Since the visit of Jackie Volbrecht to Russia, our vision is larger and so are our plans to help. Our organization is now congregational and of course affiliated with the Evangelical Lutheran Church of America, The ELCA.

Your gifts should be made payable to

Gloria Dei Lutheran Church
and mailed to
1101 N. River Blvd, Wichita, Kansas 67203.

Please mark them as a Children of the Wind donation.

We then forward the entire sum, 100% to our ELCROS representative, Manfred Brockmann, Dean of the Church of Far East Russia for distribution as indicated by you or if not indicated, as needed by the congregations.

To read more about it, www.luthvostok.com is the official website of the Far East (make sure you find the English translation button at the top of the site)

This site is new, I plan to ad additional information and more interesting links, however, this is the beginning, thank you for being here with us.

In His Service
