Beyond Loyalty
Hesed is a Hebrew word that means loving loyalty-extravagant loyalty that goes beyond what we would ask or expect.

Grace Embodied
St. Peter Lutheran in Spokane, Washington, meets the needs of its neighbors-with a little help from the Mission Investment Fund.

The Gift of Recognition
We share a universal need to be recognized for who we really are. When we realize that we are recognized by God, we are free to recognize others.

Freedom Fund
A woman recalls the evening her friends surrounded her with extravagant, loving loyalty, and helped her move from darkness to light.

Living from Trust
Sometimes our need for security slips into hoarding, then greed. The result is our failure to rely on god or our friends when times are tough.
