We would like to thank you and all the members of the congregations who are supporting the English District missions and for your participation in 1-1-1.
We want to share with you stories from both missions to include in your weekly church bulletin or newsletter. Spread the word how your simple donation of one dollar per member per week has helped to grow these missions.
Bulletin inserts are available on the district website.
It’s never too late to join the 60 congregations in sponsoring this program. The more congregations that participate the more lives will be touched with the Gospel of Jesus.
Here's the plan: $1/per baptized member/per week.
Simple, right? Self-explanatory almost. Easy to do. All can participate. Each baptized member is asked to give one dollar extra per week. $1/per member/per week. Thus, "1-1-1".
Please contact our District Mission Executive, Pastor
Derek Mathers
