Lutheran Women's Missionary League
Mission
The Mission of the Lutheran Women's Missionary League (LWML) is to assist each woman of The Lutheran Church--Missouri Synod (LCMS) in affirming her relationship with the Triune God so that she is enabled to use her gifts in ministry to the people of the world.
Who We Are
The Lutheran Women's Missionary League (LWML) is the official women's auxiliary of The Lutheran Church--Missouri Synod. For over 65 years, the LWML has focused on affirming each woman's relationship with Christ, encouraging and equipping women to live out their Christian lives in active mission ministries and to support global missions.
The Ladies of St. John's is a member society of the Lutheran Women's Missionary League (LWML) of the Northern Illinois District (Zone N6).
Through this group, every woman, confirmation age and up, has many opportunities to fellowship with Christian women, serve and support St. John's and contribute to missions worldwide.
Global Outreach
The purpose of the Gospel Outreach Committee is to equip and motivate women to live the Gospel and to share it with all people.
What Does This Mean?
God wants you to be yourself when sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ with others. He has chosen you, and given you the privilege of sharing that joy and excitement of your faith with others. Being a Christian is a blessing, and the joy of Jesus in our lives should be evident to everyone.
We want to share encouraging notes and resources to see how you can easily and naturally share the Good News of Jesus' great love in your everyday living by:
- developing a closeness to your Savior through prayer, Bible study, worship, and devotional materials
- recognizing there are many opportunities every day to be God's witnesses
- understanding that everyone is unique and loved by God and He wants you to reach out to them!
The Mite Box
Based on the Biblical account of the widow's mite (Luke 21:1-4), the mite box is intended for regular contributions of "mites"--offerings above and beyond the support given to congregation and the LCMS. Mite Box contributions amount to millions of dollars that fund district and national mission grants and implement the LWML program.
