Wow!
We are praising the Lord for His gracious provision through YOU! As a church leader, your voice on behalf of the lost and hurting in your community and throughout the world is having a huge impact-so THANK YOU! Because of your generosity and leadership, we are thrilled to report that we have ended our fiscal year "in the black"-and have received the largest GC Day Offering to date-more than DOUBLE the amount of last year's! It was truly encouraging to see everyone-from small churches to large ones to individuals-leaning in together. It's clear that our U.S. Alliance family is serious about making sure everyone has an opportunity to hear the good news.
Before the hustle and bustle of the new school year begins, we want to take time to pause and celebrate what God has done-and say a heartfelt "thank you!" to the greater Alliance family for their generosity. On the weekend of August 11, we are inviting churches to pass on specific thanks from our international workers for supporting their ministries and sending new team members to join them.

Great Commission Women Changed Its Name
Alliance Women is now the official name for the ministry previously named Great Commission Women. Additionally, the status of Alliance Women has been changed from an auxiliary to a fully integrated ministry within Church Ministries. We anticipate a raised stature and broadened influence of Alliance Women throughout the C&MA. The National Director for Alliance Women is now a member of the Church Ministries Leadership Team (CMLT). As an official member of the CMLT, Alliance Women is able to align itself more completely with National leadership and the objectives of the C&MA. The Alliance Women mission statement is the same as The Alliance: We exist to exalt Jesus and complete His Great Commission. The guiding principle of Alliance Women is "Connecting Women for Kingdom Impact, locally and globally." Alliance Women also maintains its strong connection to the global work of The Alliance through prayer, financial giving, short-term mission trips, and tangible support such as the TCK adoption ministry. Alliance Women encourages all women in our Alliance family to connect through our Alliance Women Facebook page and our website.
We look forward with anticipation to what God will accomplish through the revitalized ministry of Alliance Women.
