Mission Investment Fund (MIF) helps strengthen the ministry of our church, through investments by people like you. That's because we use the money you invest to fund building and renovation loans for ELCA congregations and ministries. Not only do your investments earn you a great rate of return, they replace sagging church roofs, expand Sunday school classrooms, and build brand new church buildings from the ground up.  Click the video above to see how MIF is working right here in Southeastern Iowa.
