NOVEMBER IS MISSION EMPHASIS MONTH

We are less than ONE MONTH AWAY from our special JOHN & MABEL KUNKLE THANKSGIVING OFFERING.

“What is it used for?” is a question often asked. First and foremost, 10% of the offering goes into “LIFE SHARES” where they are held in reserve and the interest is shared annually with each of the missionaries.

These funds are also used for our missionaries in case of emergencies, such as critical illnesses of family members, or in pressing needs of an individual missionary in the form of loans to help them through difficult times. Many times, these loans are given at percentages far less than the ‘going rate’ of interest—or no interest at all.

Secondly, these funds are used for the “General Fund” of the Board of World Missions. These funds help defray the expenses of headquarters such as telephones, postage, shipping, office salaries, publication of mission materials and the expenses incurred by the Board of World Missions.

We dream of a time when we will have 100% participation of every church and every Evangelical Methodist Church member. Ten dollars ($10) per member every year would translate into a fund that would practically underwrite the funding of the accounts of our missionaries. As these funds grow, a portion can be diverted to this end. Help us KEEP THE DREAM ALIVE.

DEDICATION to our purpose of missionary evangelism.
RESPONSIBILITY in pursuit of our goal in missions as a denomination.
EQUIPPING and EMPOWERING our missionaries for productive ministry on the field.
ADVANCING the gospel of Christ, providing hope for the lost in sin.
MAINTAINING our purpose in partnership in Mexico and around the World as God leads and opens the doors.

Will you help us keep the DREAM alive by participating generously this year in the KUNKLE THANKSGIVING OFFERING. May God bless the Evangelical Methodist Church and our MISSION in winning the lost—and may God bless each of you!

If you plan to go to Mexico to visit-or take a work group, please coordinate your trip with Rev. Perkins. It will be well worth your efforts and can maximize the benefits of your trip.

The “Great Commission” is more than a scripture to memorize… it is a directive with purpose. “Go, therefore, and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you.” Matthew 28:19-20a NKJ
