Praise the Lord! LWML Designates More Funds to Mission Grants
An announcement made at the LWML Convention in June shared that the LWML Board of Directors and Presidents Assembly approved that 90% of the 2021–2023 $2.15 million Mission Goal will, by the grace of God, go directly to fund mission grants. In the past, LWML designated 70% to mission grants and the remaining amount funded costs that included operations, training, and programming. This decision was accompanied by cheers of joy and thanksgiving to God as we are able to designate more mite offerings to sharing His love and mercy. As Lutheran women study His Word, give offerings, and serve others, we pray that our focus remains on Jesus. Supporters may continue to give to LWML with the confidence of knowing their gifts honor God and spread His message of salvation with the world.

They were distributed at the 39th Biennial LWML Convention in Lexington and will be available free for the cost of shipping. They will be shipped in packs of 50.
