Measuring Up —
A Welcome note from Thrivent Financial
 The amount of good
we can do for Lutherans and our communities has always been one of our organization's
most important measures of success. Now that the 2005 numbers are in, it's clear
that we can all be proud of what we accomplished last year—particularly when
it comes to responding quickly to the world's most urgent needs.
Not only did Thrivent Financial for Lutherans and its members contribute nearly
$10 million to help the victims of the Asian tsunami, together we raised more
than $17 million to provide relief for the victims of the Gulf Coast hurricanes.
Also, Thrivent Financial pledged an additional $5 million to our Thrivent Builds
with Habitat for Humanity program to address long-term housing needs in the
Gulf Coast area.
Big numbers like these are impressive, to be sure, but only if members like
you are able to use these resources to help those in need. In this issue, you
can read an update on our organization's ongoing tsunami relief efforts, our
response to the Gulf Coast hurricanes and how help is being delivered.
We hope these stories inspire you to continue giving—just as they inspire Thrivent
Financial to continue providing the programs and resources that make it possible
to care for others.
Sincerely,
Bruce J. Nicholson
Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer
