The NT-NL Mission Endowment Fund (MEF) seeks to support mission projects in the Northern Texas-Northern Louisiana (NT-NL) Synod. It works much like a foundation: an endowment fund serves as its core; the principal is invested and only the income from the investment is expended annually to benefit special causes that might otherwise go unfunded and unrealized. Grants are awarded on an annual basis. Just under one million dollars has been awarded in the 25-year history!
On behalf of the MEF Board Members, we extend our deepest appreciation for your support! This year, our Seeds that Change event raised over $30,000! This money directly benefits the awarded grants within our synod, as we will be able to fund more applications in 2023!

Gifts that go on forever!
The 2021 initiative of the Mission Endowment Fund is to seek legacy gifting partners who embrace this ministry of our churches.
