For individuals and groups
interested in helping to meet the needs of Lutheran Blind Mission, here
are some suggestions for involvement.
- From Pastor Dave:
The mission of LBM is to help blind people see Jesus. This does not
take eyes of flesh but eyes of faith.
Then Jesus told him, "Because you have seen me, you have believed;
blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed." John
20:29. Please pray with me...
Dear Jesus, Thank you for seeing not just our sin, but our need. Thank
you for coming, dying in our place so that you might forgive us. Use
me to be your hands, feet and voice so that people, especially those
who do not see physically, might see you through eyes of faith. Amen.
- Your financial support.
After decades of support from the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod, we
are now on our own to find the funds needed to sustain and grow this
ministry. Your donations and volunteer support are enthusiastically
welcome. Click here

- Donate
Your Car to Lutheran Blind Mission
Are you thinking of selling or trading in that old car, truck,
boat, trailer, or RV? Know someone who is? Why not donate it
instead? As a charitable contribution your donation could make a big difference!
Donate your used vehicle to Lutheran Blind Mission and help
blind people see Jesus! We'll arrange to
have your vehicle picked up at no charge by a professionally licensed,
bonded, and insured towing company. We accept most vehicles, even
if they don't run, in all 50 states. Arrangements will be made
within four days to conveniently and quickly pick-up your vehicle
donation at no cost to you. It's easy and convenient, and you
may be eligible to receive a charitable contribution deduction on
your itemized federal tax return. Consult your tax advisor. Fill out
our Online Vehicle Donation form,
or call Lutheran Blind Mission at 1-888-215-2455 to donate your vehicle
or for more information.

- Proofreading books for
braille translation. The first step in the translation process
is retyping a book using a computer. After a typist has finished a book,
it is printed and proofread by sighted persons for typographical errors,
missed punctuation, missing words, etc. This proofreading is done with
partners—one person reading from the book and the other following
along in the typed manuscript and making corrections. (After it is translated
into braille, it goes to a blind proofreader.)
- Recording cassette tapes.
If you have a cassette recorder, you can read books or devotional magazines
on tape. This can be done from your own home or from a studio in your
area.
- Volunteering at our St.
Louis facility. We would really appreciate your help with answering
the phone, assisting with the preparation of materials to be mailed,
taking boxes to the Post Office, shelving Braille books and audiocassettes
and some short term special projects.
