Message From Caryl Casey, ABCOPAD Treasurer
There’s an opportune time to do things, a right time for everything on earth, A right time to plant and another to reap, A right time to search and another to count your losses. Ecclesiastes 3 The Message
As many around the country and here in our very own region, have faced losses of homes, cars, jobs and possessions, we have to deal with the reality of what it means to the ABCOPAD investments when the market has been on the roller coaster ride of this current year. The grants that are given out twice a year from Release God’s Power and the Ministries of Christian Discipleship Funds are made available entirely from the earnings they receive. The Legacy grants are made up of a combination of both the earnings and a 20% distribution yearly from the principal of this Fund. The over-all value of our investments is down approximately 12% at this point in the year, which means we have already given out during the Spring cycle for grants, what earnings had accrued for all three funds, as well as the total principal disbursement from the Legacy grants. This means we are unable to offer grant funds for the Fall cycle of 2011. As we live in hope, trusting our needs to God, we anticipate being able to offer grants from these funds again in the Spring of 2012.

The Mission Allocation Committee along with the ABCOPAD Board of Directors is pleased to announce the availability of the Legacy Grant Funds.
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. |
Grant Deadline: No Grants Available For The Fall 2011.
ABCOPAD churches and their related ministry organizations are blessed to have grant funds available in 2011 from three different sources. The Release God’s Power, Ministries of Christian Discipleship and the Legacy Funds exist to provide funding for the implementation of new programs and ministries throughout Pennsylvania and Delaware. The normal grant cycle occurs twice each year, prior to the Spring and the Fall ABCOPAD Board meetings.
Applications and guidelines for each fund are available through any of the Regional Pastors. Deadlines for each cycle will be posted and all applications should be returned to a Regional Pastor for the inclusion of their recommendation portion of the grant submission.
The approximate total amount for grants from the three funds for the Spring cycle is $4,500 from Release God’s Power, $7,500 from Ministries of Christian Discipleship and $26,000 from the Legacy Funds. Grant requests should be in line with these figures.
If you need a copy of the application or guidelines, please contact a member of our Regional Staff.
