FECA General
Missions Fund Update
On behalf of our supported missionaries, I
want to thank you for the faithful prayer and financial support from you. It is
this partnership that has sustained FECA's mission endeavor of spreading the
gospel to all nations. As of March this year, the General Missions Fund (GMF)
and Sending Fund (SF) status are stated as below. It is our goal to maintain a
3-month reserve in our cash balance so we may operate smoothly. As you know,
GMF and SF depend entirely on faithful giving by you and these funds are
separate from local church general fund. We encourage you to continue to give
generously to GMF and SF. Simply designate on your check or envelope
"Missions-FECA" or "Missions-GMF". Thank you once again for your faithfulness.
If you have further questions or comments, please feel free to contact Edwin
Leung, Missions Director, edwin.leung@feca.org
