The National Lutheran Council (NLC) was established on September 6, 1918 as a common agency of participating Lutheran church bodies to administer domestic programs, publicize Lutheran activities and beliefs, and provide overseas emergency relief to areas devastated by World War I. After World War II, NLC efforts for orphaned missions and younger churches increased. In 1948, a Commission on Younger Churches (1948-1949) was formed and the following year the Commission's name was changed to include Orphaned Missions (CYCOM). Under the leadership of Fredrik A. Schiotz, the Commission supported mission fields and societies, orphanages, younger churches, and schools for the blind from around the world. Cf. ELCA archives.
