CHRISTMAS IN OCTOBER
Give. Bless. Support.
Support missionaries around the world this Christmas! Join churches participating in Christmas in October — a simple way to bless active and retired missionaries and global ministry partners with a financial gift.
Celebrate Christmas in October
Support and uplift our missionaries — active and retired — whose lives and ministry pour out in Jesus’ name. Inspired by the heart of 2 Corinthians 8:9, this fundraiser allows your church to give them and our global ministry partners a special Christmas gift through financial donations collected in October.
Last year alone, AC churches gave $70,782! That money went a long way in blessing the recipients. Thank you for your compassion, your love and your generosity.
