DID YOU KNOW?

Every 4 minutes, someone steps out of darkness and into the Light through the ministry of an Alliance person somewhere in the world - because you give. We will be receiving a Year-End offering to help our workers overseas in extending His light where it has not yet shined. There is no greater gift we can give. Please be in prayer concerning this offering and give as the Lord directs you.
