Put Ministry in Motion
– with your gift –
Giving Tuesday comes just once a year–
give a gift today that puts ministry in motion.
This GivingTuesday, your support equips communicators with the tools and training they need to carry the Gospel forward. From local churches to global platforms, from small villages to digital audiences of thousands, your generosity sets real ministry in motion, sharing messages of hope that transform lives.
Receive a Special Thank-You Gift
Give $200 or more as a one-time gift, or join our Storytellers Society with a recurring monthly gift of $25 or more, and we'll send you a limited-edition Cross-and-Flame mug.
We created just 75 to celebrate this campaign.
They're only available through GivingTuesday, December 2.
MULTIPLY HOPE | ZIMBABWE
From 1 Volunteer to 104 Trained Communicators
Rev. Taurai Emmanuel Maforo attended UMCom training made possible by supporters like you.
This year, he trained 104 communicators across 13 districts. He helped launch TV Ebenezer, a digital platform that has livestreamed 50 events across four countries. One revival service drew 20,000 views.
"Every gift presented to the Lord multiplies," Rev. Maforo says.
CONNECTING THE WHOLE CHURCH | PHILIPPINES
Internet Access Transforms Remote Churches
Eight churches in Isabela Coastal Mission District were cut off from the rest of the Connection by mountains and ocean. Your support provided satellite internet access. Within weeks, Overseas Filipino Workers reconnected to their home churches. Young people started attending church in droves. Today, nine "Breakfast with Jesus" feeding sites serve children across the district, and partner churches around the connection help sustain and create new ministry opportunities. "Through this connection, God is still doing something greater for the Church," says Rev. Hinivuu Pecaat.
Real Tools. Real Stories. Real Change.
Your gift today provides:
Communications training for church leaders in underserved regions
Digital tools that amplify ministries with limited resources
Trustworthy content connecting spiritual seekers with Christ
Story platforms showing what God does in the world through the United Methodist Church
