The Wider Mission Field

 

Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) initiatives for outreach and mission

 

We give to special offering that go denominational efforts of mission work around the globe. Some of our offering goes to support the Week of Compassion which is our relief arm of the church. Week of Compassion sends money to global and local needs (examples include: 9/11 relief, tsunami relief, and hurricane Katrina). Money given to our denomination can reach people we could not reach as a solo congregation.

 

Colorado Christian Home
The Colorado Christian Home is a center for abused and neglected children located in Denver, Colorado. We send blankets and quilts every year to help with fundraising efforts for the organization. We have also sent work groups up to the home to spend time with these children that need our love and care.
Host to Missionary Visits
Our church has hosted missionaries who share their story and work in different places in the world. We have had mission workers from South Africa and Alaska in recent years.
CROP Walk
The city of Albuquerque hosts an annual CROP Walk supported by Church World Service to aid with hunger relief. Our church each year has walkers that support this cause as well as members who support the walkers with pledges. A portion of all the money that is collected goes to support local hunger relief here in the greater Albuquerque area.
Lent Love Loaf Program
Our church participates in a fasting initiative in the weeks leading up to Easter. Families are encouraged to fast one meal a week. The money that would have gone to that meal is placed in an offering box that looks like a loaf of bread. The money is collected just before Easter. Half of what is collected goes to local organizations that distribute food and meals to needy families.
Recently Supported Efforts
Some of the past projects in recent years have included the "fill the ark" initiative with the Heifer Project and supporting a Fulani tribe in Africa with money for houses, school house, and a water well.
