2024 Great Commission Day Offering
    Today, over six million people worship Christ in more than 80 countries because Alliance people sent and continue to send workers. Yet, there is much more work to be done in the hard places of the world among the suffering, the displaced, and those lacking gospel access.
    “The needs are great,” say two of our Alliance workers in Japan. “The time is short, and we have urgency in our hearts that God would send more workers to join the spiritual harvest that’s coming.”
    “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.” – Luke 10:2
    We have prayed, and God has answered abundantly by raising up new workers this year to take the gospel into the world’s hardest places. Now He is inviting all of us to be part of His plan by sending these workers without delay. Will you send workers by joining us on Sunday, May 26, in giving to the 2024 Great Commission Day Offering?
    Millions of people throughout the world living in hard and hopeless places are waiting to hear that they are known and loved by Jesus. They will only know if someone goes and tells them. More workers are ready to go into the harvest field – will you give now. to send them? Visit cmalliance.org/gcday to learn more.
    PS – Thanks to generous Alliance donors, every gift given to the GC Day Offering from now through June 30 will be matched – up to $550,000! Together we can double our sending impact.
