Advent Offering
Every year we collect a special offering during the season of Advent to bless both a global and local partner. This year our advent offering will bless two churches.
Globally, we will be helping to rebuild a church in India, led by our friend and former pastoral intern, Prasanth Bethu and his family. In the city where he lives, less than 5% of the population is Christian. By God's grace, their church has grown to over 1500 people in worship. On May 31, their church was burned to the ground. We do not know who was behind it, but we feel confident that God has called us to help rebuild it. For 21 days, the whole church fasted and prayed asking God for His direction.
Locally, we will bless a Global Methodist Church in the Columbia area, Rehoboth GMC, that is showing signs of growth and promise. By coming alongside this church, we can multiply their mission and dramatically impact the vision and reach of this smaller church, expanding their capacity to reach people in the Columbia area. Acts 1:8 says, "But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. And you will be my witnesses, telling people about me everywhere—in Jerusalem, throughout Judea, in Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”
Please join us as we make an impact in Columbia, India and even to the ends of the earth. You can give at mthorebchurch.org/give by selecting “Advent Offering" in the Fund dropdown menu. Or on Sunday morning by placing a check marked "Advent Offering' in the Kiosk.
