The offering funds projects such as agricultural development, child care, community organization, criminal justice, drug counseling, economic justice, elderly care, employment training, homelessness, literacy, violence and women’s concerns. At least 40percent of this offering supports health ministriesthroughout the world. The remaining 60 percentfunds new creative ideas for mission.
