ELCA Vision for Mission
A message from our bishop:
Once a year I ask you to join me with a special gift to the Vision for Mission Fund,
to scatter “seeds” and be part of the planting of the Good News in the hearts
of people around the world. In the gospel parable, “if someone would scatter
seed on the ground, and would sleep and rise night and day, and the seed would
sprout and grow, he does not know how.” As followers of Christ we “go and tell” and
“go and do” and trust that God will do the rest.
You are part of a church that is actively engaged in significant ministry here in
the United States and around the world. Leaders are being identified, new congregations are
being developed, we are reaching out to our global neighbors, and so much more. Through your
gifts you scatter seeds of hope. What a harvest it will be!
Living in God's amazing grace,
Mark S. Hanson, Presiding Bishop of the ELCA
