Pastor Tom Sahlstrom has been serving as chaplain of Milaca Elim for the past 111/2 years. Prior to his work at Elim, Sahlstrom served at three Evangelical Free Churches.

We need your help to grow the spiritual care on every Elim campus. This is just one way Elim's endowment funds will allow us to serve in the spirit of Christ's love. The following pages will offer ideas as to how you can be a partner in shaping the future of Elim Care. A planned gift to Elim will multiply your impact for years to come.

A planned gift can support our endowment funds which are here to provide spiritual care through our corps of chaplains, to offer scholarships to nursing assistants who want to become nurses, and to subsidize, for low income people, a stay at one of our independent or assisted living facilities. There are a lot of factors to consider in planning a gift. If you are not familiar with the concepts and strategies of charitable gift planning, you might want to take a moment to consider some of the factors in planning for the future. And check out our chart briefly describing some of the charitable means that are available to you - see How Can I...?

You may want to visit our Planned Giving Calculator to see what a planned gift would mean in your circumstances. This link opens a general calculator page. On several of the gift option pages the calculator link goes directly to that gift option. Also, See how a gift to one of our Endowment Funds can have a significant impact over the years - perhaps much more than you imagined.

The stories that follow share some of the different ways people can become partners with us in changing lives. Take a moment to see how they - perhaps in circumstances similar to yours - have found ways to support the needs of others and causes that are important to them - the way Elim Care is important to you. In turn, they have enriched their own hearts as well. Just click on the links below.

We are currently prioritizing some of our needs and there are several key areas that we will want to focus on for the immediate future. Please visit our wish list.
