A MISSION TO FIGHT WORLD HUNGER
Our Mission & Goals (click for more info)
The goal of the Tour de Revs is to encourage contributions to support ELCA World Hunger activities. We are seeking funds from individuals, congregations, and Synods to support the ELCA in meeting the $25 Million annual goal set in 1999. Along the way, the Team will also encourage folks to set personal health and wellness goals.
Three ELCA pastors are going to ride a custom-made bamboo bicycle built for three (triplet) for 100 days. They are riding to raise awareness of “Hunger & Wellness” issues and funds for the ELCA World Hunger Appeal. They will stop at each of the 65 Synods. Their stop in our synod in Redwood Falls will be Monday, August 17 and they will leave the next morning, August 18 for the St. Paul synod.

Our Mission Statement
The congregations and all the baptized who are the Southwestern Minnesota Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America are claimed by this mission:
God places us in cities, farms and towns together under one prairie sky. The Risen Christ surprises us with opportunities to plant God's Word in the world. Walking together in confidence, we cultivate life-giving congregations, nurture partner ministries, and cooperate in the life of the ELCA. By God's grace, together we have what we need.
