Give Thanks — Then Give Hope and Healing on UMC #GivingTuesday November 28
Today, as you gather with friends and family to celebrate and give thanks for the blessings in your life, please remember those hurting around the world. Thanksgiving is the perfect day to consider how gratitude for your own blessings translates into generosity that blesses others. In less than a week, United Methodists will band together to give through The Advance on UMC #Giving Tuesday Nov. 28.
We hope that you will be a part of this life-changing day.
The Advance serves as a channel for connecting the passions of United Methodists with projects and missionaries whose work best aligns with those passions. Wherever you are inspired to give, The Advance provides the avenue to ensure that the funds you give go exactly where you intend for them to go.
You can search more than 600 United Methodist-related projects and over 300 United Methodist missionaries to find the work you want to contribute to. Search by region (Africa, Asia-Pacific, North America, etc.); population; topic (Food and Agriculture, Church Development, Disaster Response and Relief, Education, Health, Economic Empowerment, Social Justice, WASH/Water & Sanitation, Women and Children and Mission Personnel); or other parameters to discover the best fit for you.
When you give to The Advance, you know that 100 percent of your gift goes to the missionary or project you specify, not to overhead costs or administrative salaries. So give with confidence and passion.
Take a few minutes now to browse UMCmission.org/Give and decide where to direct your UMC #GivingTuesday gift.
Please forward this information to those you think would benefit from this opportunity to Connect Their Passion with God's Mission.
With blessings and thanks for your generosity,
Thomas Kemper
