Women of the ELCA received a challenge from the ELCA Mission Investment Fund (MIF) to create 1,000 new individual accounts starting June 1, 2006 through June 30, 2008. The challenge awards Women of the ELCA $25,000 toward the 2008 Triennial Gathering in Salt Lake City, Utah.

MIF offers a variety of fixed- and adjustable-rate investments. Your involvement helps new mission congregations with land purchases and building first churches, assists established congregations with additional educational space or sanctuary expansion, and aids in the renovation needs of older congregations.

All you need to do is complete a simple and easy application and, for as little as $25, you can open an account today.

More good news
MIF will staff a service center at the 2008 Triennial Convention and the triennial gathering in Salt Lake City for the convenience of participants. If you open a personal MissionPlus investment, you will be able to cash checks against your MIF account at the Gathering. It’s a win-win situation!
