Resolved to support Hispanic training and mission!

Matching Funds Challenge - $6,150.00!

The Lutheran Hispanic Missionary Institute has received many requests to make its courses available in a self-study, internet based, format, in English as well as in Spanish. Until now, funds have not been available to create this online coursework.

 

The Board of Directors for LHMI, at their November meeting, received a very generous offer of gifts for this purpose. Working together, the Board of Directors have established a matching gifts challenge of $6,150.00.

 

If you will help us match this challenge, $12,300.00 will be available to produce the lessons. The first class to go self-study online will be in English and will be our newest class offering, "Hispanic Mission Basics". This class presents ideas, methods, and models for Hispanic ministry for churches and individuals wanting to share the Gospel with Spanish-speaking people.

 

Please help us reach this matching gifts goal. Gifts may be mailed to the Institute or given online through our website. Funds identified for this purpose will be placed in a temporarily restricted fund and used as the classes are produced and distributed.

 

Thanks, Paige
