I received the report yesterday. It is official! Last year we gave over $50,000 to missions. Two years ago we missed 50K by about $280. Then the economy went bad and though our tithe has increased, our missionary giving has been very stable, but without increase.
In April of 2003 we supported 9 missionaries. This year we are supporting 31 and the amount that we support each of them is larger than the amount that we were sending when we started.
A Church that gives to missions will be blessed. We have been blessed. Now, I am trusting the Lord that our mission giving will continue to increase slowly while at the same time our church is able to invest heavily in our capital campaign to raise relocation funds. We serve a big God with all the resources we need.

the main service of the church is not within the walls of the church...I'm very proud to be a part of a church that is missions minded.
