Offering for state missions

2008 Goal: $80,000

The offering helps fund Metanoia, our urban ministry in Charleston; various work with internationals; and our work with the poor in Allendale. In 2007, we raised just over $50,000 for state missions.

The Missions Committee has established a Speakers Bureau of qualified individuals who can speak about state missions.
