The Sower’s Fund of the Michigan District, LCMS was initially established in February 1992. The fund was created out of love and care to support professional church workers with needs that developed from time to time. The Sower’s Fund was established as there were no budget funds available/set aside for such a need.
This fund is used for the immediate assistance of health care or shelter issues, to provide counseling services, etc. Requests for funds come to the President’s Office usually through the Circuit Visitor, District Facilitators, or the Superintendent of Schools. They are made aware of special emergency needs where there is no immediate assistance to be found from the local congregation, city, state, federal, etc.
This assistance has been a tremendous blessing in providing help for the needs of our church workers in times of crisis in their lives or ministry, helping to relieve the stress and difficulty that our workers face in such times. Aid is offered confidentially. We thank and praise God for the continued dedicated support for the Sower’s Fund and for the kindness of all who contribute.
