JUNE GENERAL FUND OFFERINGS

Thank You, Giving Friends! for responding to our recent appeals for sustained, regular, long-term, increased offerings to our GENERAL FUND. You will notice on this month’s MISSION SHEETS OFFERING REPORT on page 3, we gave $35,846.79 to the GENERAL FUND. The GENERAL FUND is the source of all the standard commitments we have made to our missionaries to maintain their regular living expenses.

WE NEED TO REITERATE THAT WE MUST STRIVE FOR THE GOAL OF MAINTAINING SOLVENCY MONTH-BY-MONTH IN OUR GENERAL FUND RECEIPTS AND DISBURSEMENTS. That way, we can use our Thanksgiving Offering for the extraordinary and periodic benefits we have committed to give our missionaries – like 4-Year Auto Allowances, Furlough Transportation, etc.

THANK YOU to our long-time faithful Giving Friends – and THANK YOU to you who have either begun to give regular offerings to the General Fund, or who have increased your personal offerings.

THANK YOU to the churches who have increased your monthly commitments to the General Fund – some of you have done so AGAIN after already increasing your monthly offerings in recent previous months.

WE ARE STILL ASKING THAT ALL OF US GIVE TOGETHER TO HELP US REACH THE IMMEDIATE GOAL OF AT LEAST $37,000.00 IN OUR CONSISTENT MONTHLY GENERAL FUND OFFERINGS.

THANK YOU FOR GIVING YOUR PART!

Well, some of you did continue to give to the Thanksgiving Offering right on up through the middle of this year. THANK YOU, GIVING FRIENDS! THE TOTAL THANKSGIVING OFFERING IS: $64,650.57.
