World Mission Offering
Providing support to our mission partners.
Through our partners, you feed hungry children, restore the homes of flooded-out families, bring medical attention where desperately needed, and so much more. Smoke Rise brings hope and friendship as we share the love of God with the people of God through our offerings of time and financial support.
Our World Missions Offering this year seeks to have a direct impact on the people served by our missions partners. The leadership of each organization has identified a $5,000 project that will enable them to serve in ways that would not be possible otherwise.
Gifts received from now through March 31, 2026, will be distributed as specified to the mission projects identified below at the end of our pledge and giving season. Please prayerfully consider how you and your family might help us reach our goal of $55,000 to support these 11 mission projects in the coming year.
