2024 Year End Giving Suggestions December 3, 2024

Help LHF spread the Good News of the Savior’s birth to the world!

It is only by the Holy Spirit working through your gifts that the LHF mission can continue to translate and publish the good books of our Lutheran faith for churches around the world. This Christmas season, prayerfully consider how you might be able to help LHF send books like A Child’s Garden of Bible Stories and Luther’s Small Catechism to new believers in places like Vietnam, Venezuela, Ukraine and more.
There are several ways you can give:

• Send your personal mission offering to LHF by giving online here. Every $5 sends a book about the Savior to a waiting new believer!
• Decorate your giving tree with ornaments to support LHF! Click here to see all the free downloadable designs.
• Contact your investments advisor about setting up a donor advised fund (DAF). With a DAF, you can make gifts to the charities of your choice (such as LHF) during your lifetime, and when you pass away, your children can carry on your legacy of sharing the Good News in the languages of the world!
• Encourage your congregation to adopt an LHF mission project.
• If you’re 70 1/2 years or older, you can receive tax benefits by giving up to $100,000 from your qualified IRA directly to the LHF mission. Please consult with your plan IRA administrator/custodian along with your tax and/or legal advisors to determine how you can best achieve your current and future charitable goals.
• Direct your Thrivent Choice Dollars to LHF.
• If you’re planning a stock gift to the LHF mission before the end of the year, LHF recommends that you do so by Dec. 15 to allow sufficient time for processing. Call (800)554-0723 with any questions you may have.
