A Dollar for Missions

What is A Dollar for Missions?

The Central Illinois District encourages its congregations to invite their members to contribute one dollar per member per week for missions, in addition to their ordinary offerings. This kind of over-and-above giving is called “A Dollar for Missions” (DFM).

As God’s blood-bought people, we therefore give of the resources that the Lord has placed at our disposal. We make contributions to support the proclamation of the Gospel and the administration of the Sacraments at home and elsewhere.

“For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sake he became poor, so that you by his poverty might become rich” (2 Corinthians 8:9).

We give sacrificially, digging deep at times. Realistically, one dollar per week does not amount to much of a sacrifice for most of us. Still, many gifts of one dollar a week add up, and they enable CID to provide funding for missions in a new way.
