 Damaging The efforts of LCMS-supported Lutheran Refugee and Immigration Services (LIaRS) most certainly should NOT be commended or encouraged.

An October 13, 2015, LCMS FAQ states:

"Q: Is the LCMS working with LIRS and LWR?
"A: We are not connected to the refugee work of Lutheran World Relief at this time, and our relationship with, and support for, Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Services is limited. LIRS is not a Synod organization, not a Recognized Service Organization and is not officially tied to any church body."


The LCMS answer is evasive and deceptive (with euphemisms like "connected," "limited," and "officially tied"). In 2016 the LCMS reports (2016 CW, p. 30) it gave LIaRS $455,000. The Office of National Mission Executive Director, now a candidate for (but should not be elected) LCMS Secretary, is Executive Vice Chairman on the LIaRS BOD. The President of the Missouri Synod was honorary co-chairman along with the E?CA Presiding Bishopette and numerous abortion-supporting Demonicrats at a LIaRS Award (and bourbon-tasting) Gala. And while LIaRS is not an LCMS RSO, an LCMS RSO, Liberty Lutheran Services, works with LIaRS.

More info on LIaRS and other VOLAGs is at the Refugee Resettlement Watch website.

 Damaging The efforts of LCMS-supported Lutheran Refugee and Immigration Services (LIaRS) most certainly should NOT be commended or encouraged.
Instead the 2016 Convention delegates have an obligation to reject any support for LIaRS and to ask that LCMS officials (and past convention delegates) apologize for their involvement and support of LIaRS, which neither serves the interests of neither the Lutheran Church nor the the United States.

President Lyndon Johnson's Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965 eliminated the quota system of preferred countries of immigrants who would benefit the U.S. or who would best assimilate into the U.S. life. Instead the Act eliminated the quota system and allowed immigrants whose culture or religion were inimical to Christianity and assimilation into American life, and in such numbers that, even after several generations, result in the balkanization of various cities in the U.S. Sadly, even some Lutherans, either deliberately or out of sheer ignorance, supported this treacherous legislation.

And today, with no excuse of ignorance, the treachery of some Lutherans, and especially the leadership of the Missouri Synod, has increased in their support and involvement of the leftist, Demonicrat-supporting organization, Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Service (LIaRS), which uses tens of millions of taxpayer dollars to resettle mostly Muslim immigrants in areas around the U.S. that often do not have the resources to deal with the resulting increased welfare, disease, and crime rates, as well as demands for Sharia laws. In addition these immigrants are not adequately screened for ISIS members and supporters. Thus in assisting these immigrants LIaRS may indeed be giving aid and comfort to the enemy.
