Lutherans For Life offers help, healing, and forgiveness for anyone who bears the burden of overwhelming guilt through our 24-hour Word of Hope hotline (888-217-8679). This free service is available to men, women, and youths for information, referrals, and Scripture-based spiritual care to address life issues such as surprise pregnancy, abortion recovery, suicide, doubting salvation, and physician-assisted suicide.
Iowa Lutheran School Tuition Organization (ILSTO) - Please help ILSTO be fully funded for 2023! For the 2023 tax year, the legislature has allocated $20,000,000 for Tuition Tax Credits for the STO program across the state of Iowa so ILSTO will have over $1,000,000 in tax credits to distribute to donors. We need your help to raise this money to be able to fund our tuition assistance. Contact Dewey Torkelson for more information about the Iowa Lutheran School Tuition Organization at 712-260-2991.
