Missions Giving
For the first time in more than a decade, The Christian and Missionary Alliance (C&MA) met and even exceeded its $37,500,000 budget with a projected surplus of $3.2 million at the close of the fiscal year. Actual revenues exceeded $40,700,000, or 108.5 percent of the $37,500,000 fiscal year budget. These revenues included an extraordinary estate gift of $3 million. The C&MA Board of Directors voted to allocate the majority of this gift to future strategic ministry initiatives. Excluding this gift, revenues were 100.2 percent of budget. Praise the Lord!
