Michigan Advance Partners
In attempting to implement special projects, many conferences have established various strategies to raise funds to meet the demands of their ministry projects. In Michigan it is suggested that each member give 1 percent of income to support the various Michigan Advance projects which go for Evangelism, Education, Camp Meeting, and Camps as well as individual church projects.
Paul writes, “My friends, we want you to know that the churches in Macedonia have shown others God's gift of undeserved grace. Although they were going through hard times and were very poor, they were glad to give generously. They gave as much as they could afford and even more, simply because they wanted to.” (2 Cor. 8:1-3, CEV). As members of the body of Christ, we have a holy calling to assist each other in carrying out the ministry of the church.
As you worship by returning your tithes and offerings and contributing to the ministries of your conference, Ellen White reminds us that “When you place the Lord first and realize that the Lord's house is dishonored by debt, God will bless you” (Counsels on Stewardship, p. 262). Let’s support Michigan Advance so they can continue to help churches honor the Lord.
