Lutheran Women in Mission
LA-MS District Mission Grants
2024-2026 Grants
Each biennium (two years), our District meets in convention. One of the main areas of business during the convention is to adopt a mission goal and the mission grants which will be funded through this goal. Mission grants are funded with our Mite Boxes. If you do not already have a Mite Box, ask your society president how to obtain one.
Grants are listed in the order in which they will be paid. Fully paid grants are indicated with a purple background.
Praise God, from whom all blessings flow!
