2012 HAND IN HAND ANNUAL
ELCA Missionary Sponsorship offers the 2012 Hand in Hand Annual. This resource can be used in a variety of ways, anywhere from an education tool to a prayer guide. Get information on the work that is being done around the world. All covenant sponsors automatically receive a copy of the Hand in Hand Annual.

Additional copies are available by calling 800-638-3522 or emailing missionarysponsorship@elca.org. 
 

THE PLACEMAP
The new world map from ELCA Missionary Sponsorship invites you to find your missionary's country of service, locate and pray for countries in the news, learn world geography (How many African countries can you name?), make a Missionary Sponsorship bulletin-board display and spend some relaxing time coloring.

This resource has a nick-name: the placeMAP, because its size is just right to use as a placemat. Consider ordering a pad of 100 maps to use at meal events with a Global Mission emphasis. Call 800-638-3522 and reference ELCADS1025. Request up to 10 maps (One for each Sunday school classroom?) at no charge. A shipping and handling fee will be applied to requests for a pad of 100 maps.

TRIBUTE CARDS

After giving a gift donation for ELCA Missionary Sponsorship, send one of four tribute cards - celebrating, thanking, remembering, honoring - to announce your gift. 

GIVING ENVELOPES


Use these giving envelopes in your congregation or mail directly to ELCA Global Mission Support.
