HomeMission 2020 Initiative

How many commercials do you see every day similar to these?

What do they all have in common? They are all asking for your donation of just

$19 or $20 a month. Although these may be worthy causes, do they do the

most good eternally? According to the January edition of the Christian

Chronicle, almost 70 churches of Christ each year are closing their doors in the

United States. That is why HomeMission began. Evangelists work together

building up churches and mission efforts at home, in our own back yards. By

God’s power, several churches have been turned around already. Our eleven

evangelists have helped over 100 churches in twenty-three states. But, we need

more evangelists, who in turn, need their expenses paid, so they can join us in

this work. The elders of the Faith Village church of Christ in Wichita Falls, Texas,

oversee this work. We follow the pattern found in Acts 11:19-25, where we find

that evangelists were sent out to encourage, equip and evangelize new and at-

risk congregations.

So, why not use your $20 a month to save a church? That’s less than a cup of

coffee a day!

The churches of Christ in America need your help. We can’t continue our work

without you. *

Would you pay for one meal a month for a traveling evangelist?

Would you provide tools for training a church to grow?

Would you pay for ½ a tank of gas per month for our evangelist expense?

Would you buy a training workbook for 2 brethren in small churches that can’t

afford it?

Is one soul or keeping a church from closing worth $20 per month?

It only takes a few minutes to sign up. We need 2000 brothers and sisters who

love the Lord’s Church to give $20 per month by the end of 2020.

Tell others about us.

3 John, vss 5-8

5 Dear friend, you are faithful in what you are doing for the brothers and sisters,[a] even though

they are strangers to you. 6 They have told the church about your love. Please send them on their

way in a manner that honors God. 7 It was for the sake of the Name that they went out, receiving

no help from the pagans. 8 We ought therefore to show hospitality to such people so that we may

work together for the truth.

*HomeMission depends on your support, since we do not charge the churches

we assist, for our time, expenses or materials.
