This important Collection has been appointed by the Synod to be taken in August, by book. In future this collection will be taken in March. The following is an extract from my Report at the Synod, May 1975, “The Jewish and Foreign Mission Fund, supported by Congregational Collections throughout the Church in 1974, was under £7,000, This was, and is, the basic income, yet Mission salaries and National Insurance alone required the payment of £9,522. Of course there were special donations etc. which left the Fund with a surplus for 1974, under £2,000.”
We appeal to Congregations to increase substantially their giving where this is possible in the providence of God. “The Lord loveth a cheerful giver.”
Every contribution to this Fund is devoted to the support of our Church’s active witness to the truth of the Word of God and the claims of the Lord Jesus Christ as the Saviour of lost men, among the native Africans.
