LWML has an amazing milestone for which to give thanks-- we have gathered $100 million in mites since the founding of the organization in 1942! By the grace of God, faithful supporters from across the nation have given their mites to achieve the LWML’s ongoing mission goal. This amazing total combines funds from the forty districts and the national level of the LWML.

LWML President Kay Kreklau shared, “Today we look forward to the mission work of the Lord set at the 2011 LWML Convention with a mission goal for the 2011-2013 biennium of $1.825 million to support 19 grants. While the amount of funds raised has increased over the years, the mission today is the same – helping to reach out to share the joyful news of Christ around the world. Lutheran Women in Mission today share the same mission consciousness – mission education, mission inspiration and mission service as they join the early leaders to joyfully serve the Lord.”

The value of mites needed each month to meet this mission goal is $76,041.67.  As of September 2011, the average monthly giving was only about $60,000--keep filling those mite boxes and spreading the word! You can keep track of progress toward the mission goal at www.lwml.org.
