1 hour | Online via Zoom
Special Guest: Solveig Muus
Join special guest Solveig Muus as she shares the story behind the 40-40-40 Region 2 Lenten Challenge, and how the Challenge, now in its third year, connects hundreds of individuals in congregations across the 5 synods in Region 2 with each other, as well as with the work of ELCA World Hunger and Lutheran Disaster Response (LDR). The Lenten Challenge for 2025 supports LDR and our church’s call to respond to non-conventional disasters, including the work at Navajo Evangelical Lutheran Mission (NELM).
NELM is a 70-year-old ministry of the ELCA in Rock Point, Arizona, where more than half the households either do not have running water or do not have access to safe drinking water. In addition to various spiritual practices, each year’s Challenge includes an opportunity for giving; gifts generated through this year’s challenge support LDR projects such as providing holding tanks and an automated water distribution system for filtration and chlorination for our siblings in Christ on the Navajo reservation.
