Alliance Exceeds Budget in Difficult Economy
June 29, 2010
For the first time in more than a decade, The Christian and Missionary Alliance met and even exceeded its $37,500,000 budget with a projected surplus of $ $3.2 million at the close of the fiscal year.
The Great Commission Fund (GCF) not only supports current workers and their ministries but also enables Alliance workers to establish new initiatives in parts of the world where there is very little access to the gospel.
In addition to supporting field personnel allowances through the GCF, Alliance people gave $1.7 million toward Haiti earthquake relief efforts and another $386,000 for the Great Commission Sunday offering to help establish a gospel witness in North and Central Asia.
“Praise God for His grace and provision in the midst of America’s worst economic crisis since the Great Depression,” says Alliance president, Gary Benedict, “and for the sacrificial giving of the Alliance family.”
