Our Lord encourages us through these words. Even today, Christ Jesus brings a harvest of lives eternally saved through the faithful, good work of proclaiming His Gospel!
In response to Jesus’ faithfulness, and with gratitude for a generous gift from Good Shepherd, Des Plaines, the LCMS Northern Illinois District has made available the Mission Target Grant. The Mission Target Grant is intended to provide substantial support to ministries who are seeking to expand their Gospel impact in their surrounding community.
Some of the highlights of the Mission Target Grant include:
- It is available to all churches, schools, and RSOs of the NID
- It has no cap on the amount that may be requested
- Its funding may be utilized over a three-year period
- It will have two award periods each year, spring and fall, until the fund is fully expended
- It may be used to partially fund bringing a new church worker to a ministry

Grant proposals should be submitted to Rev. Kris Whitby, Assistant to the President – Mission and Ministry, at kris.whitby@nidlcms.org. Proposals for each award period will be reviewed by the Mission Target Grant Committee the last Monday of February and August respectively.
May Christ continue to reap a harvest from the good He works through us together through the Mission Target Grant!
