This year’s Missional Offering

Global Initiative & Local Challenge

This year’s Missional Offering has two parts:  A global initiative and a local challenge. (Stay tuned for details, though largely it’s going to be a surprise!)

GLOBAL INITIATIVE

This year, the Missional Offering is partnering with Bishop’s Africa University Missional Challenge. As United Methodists, we aim to lead people toward transformation through Jesus Christ. To support this mission, we support Africa University, a mission that is near and dear to Bishop Trimble’s heart. In 2022, he launched a missional challenge to create an endowment fund that will provide scholarships to students at Africa University.

For more information and resources, visit inumc.org/au-missional-challenge.

We will be accepting electronic donations during our Annual Conference Sessions. You may donate in a variety of ways:

• Text the word “bishopau” and the amount of your donation to 855-389-1555.
• Online through Securegive at:  https://app.securegive.com/INUMC/-missional-offering/donate/category.
• Online through the website page:  https://www.inumc.org/au-missional-challenge/

LOCAL CHALLENGE

This year, we’re not asking churches to physically bring anything to Annual Conference like we usually do. Instead, we would like to invite you to come with an open heart and a willingness to respond to the Holy Spirit as we present this surprise challenge.

Won’t you join us even now as we join together with the Annual Conference Praying Forward theme and lift up churches as they give—and the eventual recipients?
