Making a difference with LLL Mission Outreach Grants

Making a difference with LLL Mission Outreach Grants

The strong relationship between LLL and their customers continues to benefit communities around the country, with the latest round of Mission Outreach Grants awarded in support of local projects that make a real difference to congregations.

LLL Mission Outreach Grants (MOGs) have provided $1 million in funding for over 60 projects since 2010.

The MOGs, as well as Sponsorships, School Bursaries and support for Camping Ministries, are made possible by the missional purpose that LLL shares with investors.

LLL CEO Ross Smith attended the Synods of the South Australia-Northern Territory and Queensland Districts to award their most recent grants, with Victoria-Tasmania and New South Wales-ACT District grants awarded earlier this year.

These grants are used to help fund a range of inspiring projects that LLL is proud to support.

St Michael’s Lutheran Church in Hahndorf, SA, will use its grant to undertake a much-needed upgrade of its livestreaming capabilities with new cameras and other production equipment.

St Michael’s has been broadcasting weekly services for over 10 years, with many people inspired by this vital outreach ministry.

Three congregations in Canberra are able to install brand-new digital signage after they shared a grant totalling $25,000 that was awarded at the NSW-ACT Synod in March. Holy Cross Belconnen, Woden Valley’s Immanuel, and Good Shepherd Tuggeranong used the grant to help fund the purchase and installation of modern LED signage that replaced tired, static signs. These new signs enable these congregations to communicate far more effectively with their local communities.

The remaining grants will help foster connection between congregations, their partner colleges and local communities.

Our Saviour Lutheran Church in Rochedale will hire a Community Connections Facilitator, and Wodonga Lutheran Parish, Victoria, has installed a Ministry Coordinator with the support of LLL grants.

Our Saviour, situated at Redeemer Lutheran College, and Wodonga Lutheran Parish, part of the Victory Lutheran College campus, are committed to strengthening ties with their respective communities.

LLL is delighted to be able to support these endeavours thanks to the missional hearts of their customers.

Congregations are encouraged to apply for future Mission Outreach Grants through District offices.

Stories about previous Mission Outreach Grants and the many uplifting projects LLL is able to support, thanks to their missional partnership with depositors, are available in Together in Mission – www.lll.org.au/tim.
