World Ministries Contribution Update

Check here each month for the current status of World Ministries contributions.

This information is also available on the Web at www.CofChrist.org/worldministries.

The church received an estimated $700,000 in World Ministries Mission Tithes in May 2008. Thank you! With one month left in the fiscal year we now expect to receive a total of $10.2 million, $200,000 less than was budgeted. Your faithful support of our worldwide ministries is creating the following possibilities right now:

  • A Tangible Love Grant will help children in Iowa have a camping experience that develops their coping skills, strengthens their self-esteem, and makes the peace of Jesus Christ real for them

  • Jackson, Ohio, has a thriving weekly Young Peacemakers’ Club with fifty participants. Through this connection six children and two adults were baptized last year, several children and families attended camps this summer, and young people volunteered to help others in the community. What was once a small gathering on Sundays is now a bountiful fellowship. One young adult Young Peacemaker Club leader said, “I finally feel like a part of the church.”

  • A microfinance project funded by a Tangible Love Grant is allowing members and friends in rural China to set up small businesses, helping to change lives for the better.

To learn more about how your generosity transforms lives, visit the church’s website at www.CofChrist.org/offertory. Thank you for giving so generously.

*Due to manual reporting by some jurisdictions, actual income will take several months to finalize. If you have a question about this update, please contact the Presiding Bishopric at presidingbishopric@CofChrist.org or 1001 W. Walnut, Independence, MO 64050.

 


Disciples generally make contributions to the church during worship services by using Mission Tithes offering envelopes.  Sharing equally with both Congregation Ministries and World Ministries will help "meet the needs of a growing church." —Doctrine and Covenants 154:5
