Strategic Year-End Giving
The Rocky Mountain District has 11 International Worker (IW) families deployed throughout the world working in a variety of ministry contexts. As you consider year end giving opportunities, or charitable donations as Christmas gifts, the following strategic projects are a great place to start. Each gift opportunity is connected to the ministry of one of our IWs and represents a pressing need that, if met, enables ministry advancement in some of the least reached places on earth.

AMIGO Fund Update
As we approach the end of 2020 and you are considering year-end gifts to support ministries that are important to you, please consider a gift to the AMIGO Fund. This fund assists Alliance pastors in the mountains of northern Mexico. There was a desire to support a number of pastors during 2020, and presently the fund is $1,800 short of being able to realize that desire. Funds can be sent to the District Office or given online below.
