What is the Special Missions Collection?
It is the time of the year where we raise money for the church planting all over the world! Pay close attention because there may be a church already in your city or a church will be planted near you soon. As a church our goal is to raise $75,000 by May 21st. The church has started multiple efforts to raise these funds. Our willing members have pledged to walk one additional mile for every $100 they raise. Prayerfully, on May 20th our members will walk 16 miles all in one day. It will be streamed so tune in!
Every year our movement of churches raises money to provide support for the needs of our brothers and sisters around the world and for planting churches in places where the gospel is eager to bloom. Raising money for missions is not about buying a building in another country, but mission teams are made up of people who are willing and eager to go to places where the gospel is yet to be preached.
How do you know the money you give to missions is actually building up God’s kingdom?
You go there and see what fruit your giving is producing. Whether religious or not, this fundraiser will bring a positive impact to individuals throughout the world.
