Message From Caryl Casey, ABCOPAD Treasurer & Member of the Mission Allocation Committee (MAC)

 I think everyone loves the part in a story, when someone’s wish is granted.  Usually that person has done a lot of dreaming and planning about what their life or someone else’s, would be like......if only they had a way to make it happen.  Many times, ministry feels like that.  We pray, dream and hope for a day in the future when somehow the money needed might become available and that program for youth or activity for senior citizens or community wide vacation Bible school could actually happen.  Here’s some great news!  There is money available right now.  The deadline for the spring grant cycle is March 14th.  You need to have your application submitted to your Area Minister by that date.  The Release God’s Power Fund has $4,500 available for this cycle, the Ministries of Christian Discipleship Fund has $7,500 for the spring and the Legacy Grant Funds are fairly significant.  This might be moment in time, you’ve been waiting for.  Check out the guidelines and see where your church’s ministry dream best fits.

          At the end of their congregational life several churches, in 2008 / 2009 chose to invest in regional ministry by leaving their assets to be used as grant funding.  Their dream for ABCOPAD churches and organizations, meshed with the regional vision of supporting ministry in the following three areas: to build up and strengthen healthy congregations and lay leadership; to build up and encourage pastoral leadership; and to build up and strengthen relationships with the wider ABC family.  That is the rationale behind the Legancy Grant Fund.  Get in touch with your Area Minister if you have questions about how to apply.
