The
Mission Fund for Unplanned Needs
"You will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you, and you
will be my witnesses..." Acts 1:8
Apart from budgeted giving, a
wide range of
needs are considered for
financial support from The
Mission Fund.
As needs arise,
whether future planned missions
or emergency response, the committee
gives hands-on, financial, and
prayer support to those
in need. Due to the
ever changing and fluid characteristics of this ministry, specific
needs and responses are
often not foreseen in
advance. Mission Fund $'s in a
given year may include, but are
not
limited to-
Purchase of school supplies for local
and foreign
students; Food, household supplies, linens,
blankets, and
small appliances for
victims of
disaster;
Building materials, for construction
and repair of
churches and homes
affected by natural disasters or poverty either domestically or
internationally;
Prescription medications; Tuition or
Scholarships for Youth
Mission Trips;
Christmas
gifts, gloves, mittens and food for families with special needs
Historically, the
majority
of the money for the Mission
Fund has been raised
through fundraising events such as: the annual mission
yard sale, dinner and silent
auction, youth car
washes, fundraising letters
from youth participating in week
long mission trips, sale of t-shirts, crafts, bake sales and
a variety of
"hands on work" projects.
Donations
can be made to the
fund "at large" or made to a
specific ministry, outreach, mission
project or organization. The
donation will be used
for the donor's
requested outreach. |
