“So let each one give as he purposes in his heart, not grudgingly or of necessity; for God loves a cheerful giver” (2 Corinthians 9:7, NKJV).
“[God] will accept not only the gift, but the giver. And though it may have cost self-denial and sacrifice on our part, the approval of conscience and the blessing of Heaven will make this holiday season one of the happiest we have ever experienced. We may have such a spirit of love and joy in our hearts and homes as will make angels glad” (Ellen G. White, The Review and Herald, December 15, 1885).
Appeal: Your local conference is composed of congregations that have joined together to advance Adventist mission within their conference, territory, and beyond. The responsibilities and needs are great and include coordinating evangelism, education, technology, involving the youth, training local leaders for effective ministry, and supporting the pastors. A church and conference that is on the cutting edge of ministry and accomplishing Adventist mission will always be in need of funds to support and expand the work. Thank you for your cheerful gifts.
