Rev. Glenn Merritt Interview

Rev. Glenn Merritt, director of LCMS Disaster Response — Rev. Glenn Merritt

Director Rev. Glenn Merritt talks about the LCMS Disaster Response to Hurricane Sandy, what the LCMS Disaster Response is exactly, what we’ve heard from east coast congregations , and what we can do to help when a disaster occurs.

The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod’s Disaster Response Ministry responds to immediate and long-term needs following natural and man-made disasters, working through LCMS districts and congregations, international Lutheran churches and other partners. We build partners’ capacity to respond with Christian care to needs within the church and their communities with the following services:

On-site assessment
Emergency, relief and development grants
Pastoral care for LCMS church workers and members
Congregational Preparedness and Lutheran Early Response Team (LERT) training
Resources (volunteer coordination, donation and equipment management)

The last decade was an unprecedented time for LCMS disaster response efforts with multi-million dollar responses to 9-11, Hurricane Katrina, the tsunami in Asia, earthquake in Haiti and hundreds of other national and international disasters.

God calls us to be His hands reaching out to bring what peace, relief and assistance we can to those who suffer the devastating effects of disasters. Your gifts for “Disaster Relief” provide a constant resource of funds that can instantly be made available to help those in need.

Matthew 20:1-16

Laborers in the Vineyard

(1) “For the kingdom of heaven is like a master of a house who went out early in the morning to hire laborers for his vineyard. (²⁾After agreeing with the laborers for a denarius a day, he sent them into his vineyard. ⁽³⁾And going out about the third hour he saw others standing idle in the marketplace, ⁽⁴⁾and to them he said, ‘You go into the vineyard too, and whatever is right I will give you.’ ⁽⁵⁾So they went. Going out again about the sixth hour and the ninth hour, he did the same. ⁽⁶⁾And about the eleventh hour he went out and found others standing. And he said to them, ‘Why do you stand here idle all day?’ ⁽⁷⁾They said to him, ‘Because no one has hired us.’ He said to them, ‘You go into the vineyard too.’ ⁽⁸⁾And when evening came, the owner of the vineyard said to his foreman, ‘Call the laborers and pay them their wages, beginning with the last, up to the first.’ ⁽⁹⁾And when those hired about the eleventh hour came, each of them received a denarius. ⁽¹⁰⁾Now when those hired first came, they thought they would receive more, but each of them also received a denarius. ⁽¹¹⁾And on receiving it they grumbled at the master of the house, (¹²⁾saying, ‘These last worked only one hour, and you have made them equal to us who have borne the burden of the day and the scorching heat.’ ⁽¹³⁾But he replied to one of them, ‘Friend, I am doing you no wrong. Did you not agree with me for a denarius? ⁽¹⁴⁾Take what belongs to you and go. I choose to give to this last worker as I give to you. (¹⁵⁾Am I not allowed to do what I choose with what belongs to me? Or do you begrudge my generosity?’ (¹⁶⁾So the last will be first, and the first last.”
