LCEF offers the Young Investors Stamp Program as part of the Young Investors (Y.I.) Club. The Y.I. Stamp Program makes saving money and building God’s Kingdom fun for young investors.
Your ministry is able to share the principles of Christian stewardship and family values with young believers. Participating children have the opportunity to empower ministry by investing money (“stamps”) that will be used to provide loans for churches and schools within the LCMS.
Over the years, thousands of children have purchased stamps, investing nearly $1 million with LCEF. Children learn how they can have a direct impact on the growth of God’s Kingdom while saving money for their own futures.
