The Women of the
ELCA Challenge
Because of the vital
role that
Women of the ELCA
plays in providing
for the growth of
the church, the
Mission Investment
Fund has presented a
challenge to the
organization's
leaders. MIF has
agreed to sponsor a
major event at the
next Triennial
Gathering in Salt
Lake City if, by
June 30, 2008,
500
new individual
investments are
purchased by Women
of the ELCA
participants or the
total of their
investments reaches
$1.5 million,
whichever comes
first.
By participating in
the challenge, you
help to provide
loans to new mission
starts as well as to
established ELCA
congregations as you earn a competitive
interest rate on your
financial resources.
How the Challenge
Works
-
Information packets are
available from the
Mission Investment
Fund and Women of
the ELCA that
include purchase
applications for the
challenge. Complete
a purchase
application for the
investment of your
choice and return it
in to MIF in the
envelope provided in
the packet.
-
MIF staff will send
a letter of
confirmation once
your investment is
active.
-
MIF will track the
number of
investments
and periodically
provide updates to
Women of the ELCA's
leaders.
Eligibility

participants in
Women of the ELCA
