The correct figures including a change in the number of churches for Mission Priority One and Award of Excellence. MISSION PRIORITY ONE are now 46 and AWARD OF EXCELLENCE are 36 “A New Beginning” I was looking over the reports from In addition, you have given over $20,000 for Alabaster to build new buildings around the world for others to worship in, live in, study in and get well in. That is way ahead of last year at this time. All because you care, others have a place to go they didn’t have before. With modern technology on the rise, the airways are growing with radio and other means of broadcast. So far this year the Michigan District has sent almost $8,600 to provide for the means of broadcast so others can hear about Jesus Christ and the lives He has changed through this ministry. Where we can’t go, radio can go. Where we can’t preach, video presentations are reaching the lost. Thank you for this outstanding giving. World Evangelism Fund is moving along very well. We are ahead of last year by 1%, not much but a gain for which we are grateful. Sixty-one churches of seventy-five have given for World Evangelism to help spread the gospel of Jesus Christ. That’s a wonderful report for an economically depressed state. Do others matter? Absolutely, and it shows in your giving! However, our job is far from over. We are in the beginning of a new year with more adventures ahead of us. Are you up to the challenges? Are you ready for the outpouring of blessings from God that you cannot contain? Will you join the Michigan District family in giving God glory and praise for all He has and will accomplished this year through the lives of His people? We can do ANYTHING as long as we put GOD IN CHARGE! Let’s go for the brass ring. Let’s strive for 100% across the board. We and God can do it. Carol |
