FINANCIAL UPDATE
By Jinger Ellis
Stott-Wallace
The Stott-Wallace Missionary Offering is used to pay CP missionary salaries and their benefits — nothing else. It is the only source of missionary support for CP missionaries. Donations to the Stott-Wallace Missionary Offering do not incur administrative fees. Our United Outreach (OUO) covers all the clerical, processing, and transfer costs. We have received $131,804.00 in donations from January 1, 2023, to date. We have also received $14,044.26 from the CPWM Offering #34026. We are so appreciative of all the offerings received for our missionaries.
Missionary Set-Up #34041
Missionary Set-Up is a missionary benefit that helps missionaries with the purchase of plane tickets, legal expenses, basic furniture and appliances, purchase a car, and set-up an office. Our recent project received $45,398.97 in donations to help Rev. Kim Moore with her move to Haiti in the fall of this year. Our goal is $50,500.00. It is not too late if you still want to help support Kim!
Second Mile Projects
The Second Mile project #34432 was for Sound Equipment and Furnishings for the Spain New Church Development in Madrid. The project raised $2,294.00 which helped the mission purchase some basic equipment needed to better serve those that are attending services.
2022 Gift to the King
In 2019, news outlets around the world exploded with images of massive crowds in Hong Kong protesting the new laws China forced the Hong Kong government to adopt. By 2022 it was obvious Hong Kong, a special independent free district of China, would become just another city in China. As a result, tens of thousands of Hong Kong people are leaving Hong Kong. Because of Hong Kong’s status as a former British colony, many ended up in the United Kingdom of Great Britain (UK).
Within a year there were four Hong Kong Christian CP mission churches, two in Scotland and two in England. All four mission churches have Hong Kong CP pastors.
Three of the four mission churches have 60-70 in worship each Sunday, and one has around 40. There are Sundays when they have seen as many as 100 in attendance.
Although the churches are young and growing, they still have many needs. The offering is to help them cover the costs of paying pastors and doing ministry. They are all currently renting space to worship, some in UK churches and others in community centers.
Your gifts totaling $45,036.01 have helped ensure they can continue to do ministry.
2022 Loaves & Fishes
Your donations totaling $56,389.68 to the Loaves & Fishes Offering will be used to fund The Harvest Project in Brazil. The goal is that sufficient donations will be made that allow the Mata de SJ Mission to provide monthly food assistance to fifteen families for two years (2023-2024).

He defends the cause of the fatherless and the widow, and loves the foreigner residing among you, giving them food and clothing.
