LWML—Lutheran Women in Mission

Our Past Inspires Our Future

What is LWML’s bread and butter? It’s Mission Grants, right? Our mission statement lists ‘supporting missions’ as one of our key focus areas. Did you know that since 1942, Lutheran Women in Mission have funded a little over 500 mission grant projects in 84 countries?

There are two documents that provide the history of these projects. The Mission Grants History lists the title of every grant by biennium from 1942 through 2021–2023. The Mission Grants Resume provides a summary description of every grant by country, by region, and a complete list by biennium. Did you know about these historical documents? Have you ever looked at them? Use the links to review this exciting part of our history. These resources serve as an inspiration to continually be involved in mission education and to motivate further mission service in your groups and zones.

Our motto “Serve the Lord with gladness!” includes our support of mission grants and the spreading of the Gospel through our mite offerings.

Serving in Joy,

Karen Morrison

Vice President of Gospel Outreach
