Home Missions Reveals New Plan For GC Offering

Posted by: David Bunch

In an email sent last week, the Home Missions Division of the United Pentecostal Church International revealed how it plans to receive their offering of support at General Conference this year.

As you'd expect, as part of this General Conference service, we will present an opportunity to give. We think you'll be intrigued by the manner is which we receive this offering. Media and the team receiving the offering will both educate and edify. In addition, we are making a focused effort to keep the offering short. In fact, our commitment is to an offering of 25 minutes or less. To keep your faith in our commitment, there will be a 25-minute countdown that tracks our progress.
No doubt this is an effort to present a "kinder, gentler" opportunity to give, and to add valuable minutes to the service.

Though we'll have to wait and see if this will actually work in practice, kudos to Home Missions for a creative idea on trimming down the time spent on receiving donations during General Conference services.
