Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming
down from the Father of lights with whom there is no variation or shadow
due to change (James 1:17, ESV).
A new season brings new blessings. What a joy to count you among
them! As you continue to partner in mission and ministry, we invite you
to prayerfully consider a few of the many opportunities for sharing the
Gospel in word and deed with others through a gift to the LCMS.

Together as SynodEach
gift to The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod can advance any of the
mission and ministry priorities set by Synod's Constitution, Synod’s
Board of Directors and our Synod acting in Convention. “Together as
Synod” donations are the “gifts that support all other gifts.”
Contributions are wisely used by the Board of Directors to fund anything
from Witness and Mercy (program) work, logistical and support systems
at the International Center that coordinate program work, activities
required under the Synod's Constitution and Bylaws or by state or
federal law and more - wherever the opportunity to advance and carry out
our mission as a Synod is greatest.

The Office of National MissionGifts by God’s
stewards for National Mission are used entirely within the borders of
the United States. They enhance the National Mission programs and

schools, Lutheran organizations, and even church workers serving on the
front line of ministry. National Mission programs and resources are
specific to the ministry context of each (rural/small town, urban and
suburban) and designed to enhance Christ-centered worship, evangelism
and outreach, Lutheran education, youth and family discipleship, campus
ministry, stewardship, and human-care and disaster-relief efforts.
