Befriend a Mission
LWMS women love missions and the missionaries who serve them. One way this is apparent is through the Befriend A Mission program (BAM). Each of the 60 circuits plus the non-circuit member congregations and the individual members receive at least one home mission and one world mission to befriend over a two year period. The circuit’s BAM Coordinator collects information about the missions and missionaries and shares the information with the circuit. The women of the circuit pray for the mission and missionary. They also send cards of encouragement and sometimes gifts to support special projects or gifts simply to show love to the missionary and family.
The LWMS International board Befriend A Mission Coordinator sends assignments of missions to our GCCE Vice president in January of odd years.

"I thank my God every time I remember you. In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy because of your partnership. In the gospel from the first day until now, being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus." Philippians 1:1
