Lutheran Immigration & Refugee Services

From LIRS.org, "For over 80 years, Lutheran Immigration & Refugee Service has resettled refugees, reunited families & rekindled dreams." The history of Lutheran Immigration & Refugee Services has its roots in the American Lutheran response to the suffering occasioned by The Great War. Rather than digesting it for you here, we invite you to explore this history at LIRS History page
