Dear LIRS Supporter,

Hello - I'm Andrew G. Steele, and I'm the new Director of
Development for LIRS. Please allow me a moment to tell you why I'm so
honored to be working alongside you, helping the world's most
vulnerable.

Growing up in the Lutheran faith instilled a passion in me for doing
good work by being a servant leader. And like many of you, my faith
compels me to frequently ask myself, "Did I do enough?"
That question motivates me to work hard to try to make a positive
impact every day.

Right now, we're living in a pivotal time in history - kids
being held in immigration detention, refugees and asylum seekers being
turned away, a raging global pandemic - but this time calls for
us to unite, dig deep and become our best selves, and do more than we
thought possible.

Welcoming the stranger and helping the vulnerable is not just a job to
me - it's holy work - and it's something that we can do
together that makes a life-changing difference - regardless of
your faith or background.

Being a part of LIRS means that you belong to a community that stands
for the just treatment of people fleeing violence and persecution.
Being a part of LIRS means that you embrace those seeking refuge
- even in the face of increasing hostility against newcomers.

Being a part of LIRS is something I'm deeply proud of, and I hope you
are, too.

In a time when we confront new and unexpected challenges almost daily,
I have faith that together, we can better the world with love,
compassion, and right action.

God's Work, Our Hands,

Andrew G. Steele
Vice President for Development
