“I know that God works His greatest good when everything seems to be falling around us,” said the Rev. Kevin Loughran, pastor of Grace Lutheran Church, St. Petersburg, Fla. Immediately after Hurricane Milton blew through the area, causing significant damage to the church and school, many people came together to assist with the cleanup at Grace and to care for those impacted by the storm.

 This issue of Lutherans Engage the World highlights a few of the ways that God comes to His people even at their lowest point, whether that’s after a natural disaster, while seeking asylum in Germany or while serving time in prison. Even in “the darkest of places,” Christ’s light shines forth through His Word and Sacraments and through the consolation of fellow believers.
