Youth Ministry Mission Plus

Save for the 2009 Youth Gathering with MIF

An MIF Youth Ministry MissionPlus investment is an easy way to put aside funds for the 2009 Youth Gathering in New Orleans — or any youth event — and have immediate access to the funds when they are needed.

With a Youth Ministry MissionPlus investment:

•	Your congregation earns interest on the funds that young people raise for Youth Gathering expenses and other events
•	Funds are available when needed for travel expenses – before, during and after the Gathering*
•	You can add funds to the investment at any time
•	Youth leaders may redeem funds (cash checks) on the investment during the Gathering at the MIF service center - no need to search for ATMs or banks that will cash out-of-town checks*

To get started now, complete the interactive Youth Ministry MissionPlus purchase application and download the Offering Circular or request an information packet by e-mail. Complete the application, print and sign it, and include a check in the amount of $100 or more, made payable to Mission Investment Fund, and send both to:
