We're looking forward to seeing women from your congregation at the upcoming Women of the ELCA (WELCA) Triennial Gathering in Des Moines, Iowa from July 16-19, 2026.
Stop by the LPGM booth in the Exhibition Hall to see our newly designed display and learn more about life-changing work you can support worldwide, focused on quality education for people at the margins, especially women and girls.
Currently we have active partnerships in the Central African Republic, Tanzania, Guatemala, and India. LPGM staff members Bethany Krepela and Shannon Mahedy will be onsite to share more information and to answer your questions.
The theme for the 2026 Triennial Gathering is “I Am Worthy,” based on Psalm 139:14: “I am fearfully and wonderfully made.” This statement serves as a reminder of God’s promise to be with us, even in times of devastation and division.
"I am worthy" may take on new meaning for you and your group as you provide resources to support girls and women at the margins.
See you there!
"Whatsoever you do to the least of my people
That you do unto me." Matthew 35-36
