World Mission Offering Throughout the Month of September
“Were not our hearts burning within us?” Luke 32:22
In September, you will have the opportunity to support ABC-USA International Ministries. You can pray for the ABC-USA International Ministries Global Servants from the daily prayer list available. FBC is currently offering sustainable support to Jon and Amanda Good and Carmella Jones of the Europe, the Middle East and Liberia Area and Katie and Taku of East and South Asia Area. FBC has a long history of generously supporting this annual offering.
Why support International Ministries? Gifts to the General Fund are needed for resources like the website, awareness-building, mission education, WMO resources, finance and donor services, and home office support. It covers expenses for the work of mobilizing the next generation of global servants, building relationships between global servants, international partners, and mission supporters.
How are gifts used?
· 85% Program expenses
· 10% Administrative support and fees
· 5% Development and fundraising
Offering envelopes will be available on the table in the back of sanctuary as well on the table in the hallway underneath the Missions bulletin board. The daily prayer list is available on the table as well. Thank you for considering this special offering
