Mission Grants
Members and friends of Lutheran Women's Missionary
League-Canada collect most of their funds in small coin boxes called
"mite boxes." The money collected this way is used
to provide grants to projects that others do.

The Mite Box
Based on the Biblical story of the widow's mite
(Luke 21:1-4) in the King James Version (more recent versions refer
to a small coin worth less than a penny) the mite box is intended
for regular contribution of "mites" - offerings above
and beyond, and not in competition to, the support given to the
congregation and the church body.
The mite box is more than just a small cardboard
box! It is a reminder:
- to share blessings from God,
- to pray for mission projects,
- to thank the Lord for mission opportunities.
Mite box contributions amount to thousands of dollars.
They allow the contributors, through the districts and the national
body of LWML-Canada, to provide mission grants which assist others
in sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ and to implement the LWML
program.
Alternative
Wrap-Around Covers
These mite box wrap-around covers will fit a small Pringles container
or a Tetley tea cannister. These alternatives to a regular mite box will fit into a cup holder in your car. Consider other places you might use it.
Because this version takes up a coffee spot in your vehicle which isn't helpful when you stop at Tim's (Tim Hortons), have you any ideas about how else you might have a "mite box" in your car to collect the change after your purchase? Let us know at vpcommunication@lutheranwomen.ca.
