About MLM Kansas City

An important aspect of Mary Kay McNeive’s involvement with Metro Lutheran Ministry began nearly 40 years ago.

“I was looking for something good to use my estate for, something to help a good organization that I thought was doing the right thing. I decided on MLM.” Sue Funk

“Please join me in sustaining MLM’s legacy and heritage of mission.” Pastor Sally Fahrenthold, a member of MLM’s Heritage Society

The late Rev. David Ebersole, former pastor of several area churches and a longtime leader of area Lutheran efforts, including MLM.

“MLM has a very worthy cause but they operate on firm ground,” says Richard Jungck. “I’ve always had confidence in that organization to handle funds effectively and wisely.”

“That’s the thing that struck me over the years,” he says today. “They really do deliver help to the homeless and the needy.” — Reynold and Jean Schwabe

“We were impressed because we found a bunch of very involved people who are very frugal and very effective.” — Cathy and Lyle Stone

“When I was working, I designated all my United Way funds for MLM. Ever since we’ve been in Kansas City, we’ve been involved with MLM in some way.” — Norm and Katie Smith

With God, all things are possible...
Matthew 19:26

The Metro Lutheran Ministry Heritage Society is a group of people devoted to MLM and its mission. Heritage Society members leave a legacy to MLM in their will or estate plan.

The MLM Heritage Society promotes long- term legacies that support MLM’s services for the homeless and needy in the metropolitan Kansas City area—longterm solutions that continue into the future.

There are many options for contributing to the MLM heritage Society.

Current gifts can include endowments, cash, securities, real estate and other personal property, and charitable lead trusts.

Planned gifts can include bequests, gift annuities, tax deferred retirement plans, life insurance, life income gifts and remainder interest in a residence or farm
