Be Light Christmas Offering

Give » Christmas 2011

God’s greatest gift was His only son, Jesus. And God sent Him to die. Jesus sacrificed himself on a cross so that you may have His gift of light in you.

As a follower of Jesus, you are a child of light and a gift to the world. And you can shine that light through a year-end gift to the Great Commission Fund (GCF), lighting the way for someone trapped in spiritual darkness.

Since many Alliance workers are fully supported by the GCF, they are free to focus wholeheartedly on the physical and spiritual needs of lost and hurting people. When you give, you enable Christ’s light to shine through these workers. Be Light by making a donation today.

For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light. Ephesians 5:8

Because of gifts to the GCF in 2011:

  • Map IconInternational workers in Japan were able to relocate from Tokyo to the very heart of the area affected by the March 11 earthquake and tsunami. They are sharing the love of Christ in hands-on ways as they deliver the good news of Jesus’ love in this “least reached” area.
  • 10/40 IconThree new fields were opened in the 10/40 Window and 16 GCF-supported workers are sharing Jesus’ love.
  • Runner IconArab-land workers have been helping to meet the desperate needs of refugees fleeing political unrest.

Be Light this Christmas

Burkinabe Chief

It’s as if we were living in a dark hut without any windows when, suddenly, someone opened the door and let the light shine in. This light helps us to see. We want it to remain in our village; so we offer you land in our village so you can settle here and teach us.
—a chief in Djiguan, Burkina Faso, referring to a recent visit from an evangelistic team of Alliance international workers and U.S. pastors.

Pray.

The Alliance believes wholeheartedly in the power and necessity of prayer. We cannot “Live the Call Together” unless prayer is central to all we do—in our denomination, in our churches, and in our individual lives.

Give.

You can help build Christ’s Church around the world by donating online to the Great Commission Fund. This central funding vehicle allows our international workers to focus on ministry rather than raising financial support.

Serve.

Is God calling you to full-time service? Do you want to participate in a short-term missions trip and experience missions work firsthand? We’re here to help you connect your passion with God’s purpose.
