How to Support the Ministry		How to Make A Gift
Prayerful Support Please pray with us as we work to achieve our mission of providing opportunity to make funds and services available in support of the Great Commission through The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod. In 2 Corinthians 1:11, Paul said, “. . . as you help us by your prayers. Then many will give thanks on our behalf for the gracious favor granted us in answer to the prayers of many.” Volunteer Support Laborers For Christ, a ministry of the Lutheran Church Extension Fund, offers a unique opportunity to support the efforts to expand God’s Kingdom. Consider becoming a Laborer! The Laborers of Laborers For Christ are Christian men and women who do physical labor for Christ, working for congregations and other church-related organizations of The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod to build churches, schools, parish halls, retirement homes, camp facilities, etc. Christian principles are applied on the construction site, and each worker does what he or she can. Are you interested in sharing your retirement time and talents with fellow Christians who enjoy furthering the Lord’s work? Read more about becoming a Laborer with Laborers For Christ. Investment Support The Lutheran Church Extension Fund has been blessed with many investors who support the mission and ministry of Church Extension. This support enables us to make low-cost loans to LCMS churches, schools and rostered church workers. Money invested with LCEF earns a fair rate of return, while at the same time, these dollars (combined with investments from other LCEF partners) are loaned to LCMS organizations at competitive rates.
