Innovative ways of giving
Click headline for full article.
Global Ministries is committed to doing as much good as possible, and we know that you are too! That is why we wanted to offer as many new and innovative ways of supporting God’s global community. Below you will find information about these varied programs, and we hope that you will help to share them with your friends and congregation.
| Amazon Associates |
You can help contribute to the work being done around the world just by starting your Amazon shopping through this link. Then shop as you normally would and Global Ministries will receive 4-7% of the final purchase at no cost to you. There is nothing to join, nothing to download, no toolbars that slow down your computer, and your purchases are anonymous.
To make it even easier, we suggest adding the page to your favorites once you click this link, so that you can make sure to use it every time you shop.
As of May 2014, this program has generated over $2,500 in additional support for the work of Global Ministries.
Many congregations have promoted the Amazon Associate program on their websites and in their weekly newsletters, while others are using the program for purchasing Sunday School materials, novels for book clubs and study groups, and purchasing Bibles for newly baptized members. This allows congregations to integrate giving into their purchases without adding any additional costs. If you have any further questions about this opportunity, please contact Tom Morse.
