Mission Partners – Giving Opportunities
As the end of the year winds down and some congregations are blessed with
additional monies to support mission efforts, you may wish to consider the
following giving opportunities.
Our strategic ministries are those who serve under-represented persons in our
congregations or we support because the church needs to be a witness in the
poorest of communities, bringing the hope of Jesus.
