Thanks for Connecting Your Passion with God's Mission.

Thanks to you and thousands of donors like you, UMC #GivingTuesday 2017 was a huge success. You gave to more than 300 Global Ministries missionaries and over 600 United Methodist-related projects with $677,399 raised in one day as we celebrated generosity together on UMC #GivingTuesday. Every one of the dollars you gave is going exactly where you directed your gift.

We could not have done it without your support. You are the heart of what we do at Global Ministries. Your commitment to mission and ministries is a legacy we appreciate. Thank you!

The best part of The Advance is seeing people participate in God’s mission in ways that align with their deepest passions. That’s the way God designed the world to work.

Thanks again for another great UMC #GivingTuesday. We couldn’t have done it without you.

With blessings and thanks for your generosity,

Thomas Kemper
General Secretary
General Board of Global Ministries
