The mission offering is collected at the church doors at the end of worship. The January offering benefits Heifer Project International
Mission Offerings to be collected will continue to help change the World Two by Two! The Luther League began collecting donations in December for a Heifer Project Gift Ark. A Gift Ark allows Heifer Project International to send two of each animal to families around the world. This is the second Gift Ark project we have worked on at Christ the King Church, and we are more than halfway to the goal of $5000 to purchase it. To further support this project, the January Mission Offering has been designated to support Heifer Project International.
Heifer Project International is a nonprofit, Christian organization dedicated to ending world hunger and saving the earth. Since Heifer started, they have helped seven million families in over 125 countries and in 38 U.S. states. Animals provide milk, eggs, plowing power, and other benefits. These benefits can mean improved nutrition, education for children, health care, improved housing, and a new way of life. Families receiving animals agree to pass on the first offspring to another family in need, starting a never-ending chain of giving. This commonsense approach to sustainable development works—one family at a time. You can learn more at www.heifer.org.
The Heifer Gift Ark offers hope worldwide to families who are poor and hungry. Your donations will send animals on a voyage to where they are needed most. What a beautiful way to bring joy to the world. Be an “Ark Angel” and drop your donations into the Mission Offering basket each Sunday in January!
