mef logo color“MEF” is a winner all the way around.  Contributions to the endowment fund from members and congregations of the NT-NL Synod benefit new mission efforts…and benefit the vitality of the whole synod…and benefit the mission of Christ among us…all while the original contribution remains intact in the endowment fund.  Your contribution ends up being a blessing to the mission of the church year after year after year.
