2024 Resurrection Offering
Bill Walker, Board of World Missions, Co-Chair
“Why do you seek the living among the dead? He is not here but has risen!” Luke 24:5-6 HE IS RISEN!! We have just celebrated Jesus’ Resurrection and victory over death. As we continue to rejoice in this season and track toward Pentecost, please include a focus on missions in your giving. We continue to receive the Resurrection Offering through the end of May. If God has blessed you with the ability and faith to give, please consider participating in this special Board of World Missions effort. Your offering this Resurrection Day will help with needs our Global Conferences have beyond their normal conference budgets or financial abilities. Some examples may include: • • • • • •
Myanmar: Relief for refugees or helping Chin missionaries open new areas of ministry South Africa: Pastor’s School scholarships or operation costs Mexico: Paying teachers at the Life and Truth Bible Institute or helping pastors who are struggling financially CFAN: Business as Mission projects like busses or agriculture Asia Pacific: Pastor relief or church planting workshops and young leader development USA: Assist in operational expenses for your EMC missionaries, Bill and Lisa Walker
We already have a matching challenge! An anonymous donor is offering to match the first $10,000 that is given, so this is a wonderful opportunity for your gift to be doubled! We will count gifts received for the Resurrection Offering through the end of May. You can give through your local church or directly by sending your check to: EMC Headquarters PO Box 17070 Indianapolis, IN 46217 or online at www.emchurch.org. You may also scan the QR code on the page 5 flyer with your phone’s camera. May God bless you as you give!
