A special request for Kentucky United Methodists
 |
The Kentucky Annual Conference voted this year to lower the
apportionment rate to churches from 15% to 13%, creating a 2% reduction in “Our
Mission Covenant” commitments for 2015. While
local churches will receive a 2% reduction in “Our Mission Covenant” commitment,
funding to extension ministries such as Campus Ministries, Urban Missions, and Camps
would be cut significantly. So the
Kentucky Annual Conference is encouraging churches to re-designate the savings
from the reduction to support the Extension ministries. We affirm this and pray many congregations in
the Kentucky Annual Conference will commit to re-designating their 2% reduction
to support fruitful Extension Ministries.
As an Extension Ministry within the Connectional Structure,
we request Kentucky United Methodists to prayerfully consider making the Thailand
Methodist Mission to be one of the Extension Ministries that your congregation
will commit to supporting. Please pray
and do as the Lord leads you.
