Our Mission & Goals
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.
We hope to achieve the following:
REVELATION…..support this church in communicating our God-given opportunity and responsibility to provide for those less fortunate so that all may have adequate nutrition to sustain life and wholeness. The ride will also stress the need for everyone to take personal responsibility for health and wellness.
REVOLUTION…..stimulate synod hunger committees and local congregations to formulate and implement realistic plans to eradicate hunger within this lifetime! We also want to get our religious partners active to make “wellness” a higher priority within this church.
REVENUE…..with the help of all of our contributors, we will assist ELCA in reaching their goal of raising 25 million dollars for ELCA World Hunger. We believe this exciting venture in ministry can raise 5 million dollars. Let us always remember that this event is a thank-offering for the grace we have first experienced as we attempt to live out Christ’s command to love God and neighbor as self.
