Giving Tuesday: $23 Makes a Lasting Difference
Giving Tuesday is here! The Mozambique Initiative is supplying Bibles and hymnals to United Methodists in Mozambique. In many churches across Mozambique, United Methodists gather to worship without access to hymnals or Bibles for the congregation. Giving Tuesday funds will support this effort, one that is at the heart of our ministry: Encouraging United Methodists across the world in our shared faith. Even a small gift of $23 can provide a Bible and hymnal. [link removed] Learn more and donate →
