Funding the mission of the church is complex and can be full of surprises. Opportunities to spread the gospel can quickly come and go. From time to time, situations develop which create mission opportunities to which we could respond quickly if funds were available. In these cases, if we had to wait for months or years to raise funds, these opportunities might disappear. The “Unusual Opportunities” offering which we are receiving today will be used for these kinds of situations.
For the past several years, this offering has averaged over U.S. $600,000, and has been used in places like Syria, Zanzibar, and Yemen.
Appeal: As the controller of the General Conference and a local church treasurer, I understand the needs of the local church and the world church. Join with me in participating in today’s offering with a special gift to the Fall Mission Appeal and support these urgent opportunities by giving through the World Budget offering.
