A very special thank you to Concordia Lutheran Church-Kirkwood, Lutheran Senior Services, Coalition For Life St Louis, ThriVe St. Louis, Chick-fil-A at Des Peres, and St. Charles County Lutherans For Life for all their support in the 2013 Y4Life Servant Event: St. Louis!
Last September, I began my position as national director, taking over most of Dr. Lamb’s day-to-day administrative duties. While he continues to serve as our executive director, this change allows him to focus on what he loves—and what he is best at—serving LFL and our Lord of Life through his proclamation in written word and from the pulpit. Dr. Lamb now has more opportunity to share the message of the sanctity and value of ALL human life.
Many people secretly bear the scars of childhood abuse. They desperately struggle with hidden trauma that interferes with their spiritual growth and relationships with others.

For a while now, we at Lutheran Family Service of Iowa have been thinking and talking about ways to be more intentional and active in our support to birth mothers following their adoption placement. But after the placement, when things seem to be going well, it has been easy for us to go on with busy work schedules and attend to other people who need our attention. But we won’t neglect them any more. Not after one incredible weekend last fall.
Many friends of Lutherans For Life are using a gift annuity as a way of increasing their own retirement income and making a future gift to support the mission of Lutherans For Life. You probably know how a charitable gift annuity works.
What role do youth play in the For Life movement? Are they even engaged? What do they think about life issues? These are the questions I am often asked when I tell people about our new initiative, Y4Life.
The Life Legacy Society was established in 2011. It recognizes all supporters who have notified us that they have put LFL into their will or estate. We currently have 55 individuals/families that have notified us they have put Lutherans For Life into their will or estate. Their names are below. If you have done this, but have not let us know, please do so. We encourage LFL donors to prayerfully consider putting LFL into your will or estate. If you need help with your will or estate, let us know—we can assist you.
LFL’s Renewal For Life® mission statement is to equip Lutheran congregations to be Gospel-motivated voices For Life. In the local congregation, Renewal For Life® consists of a Life Team Leader and a Life Team. The Life Team Leader is selected by the pastor in prayerful consultation with other leaders in the congregation. The Life Team, then, assists the pastor and the congregation with life issues-related ministry.
