FAITH COMES BY HEARING OFFERING
        This morning we are taking a Love Offering for the ministry of Faith Comes By Hearing. Please use the basket on the table in the foyer. Make any checks out to the church – EAC – and make sure you designate the amount that goes to FCBH/ Faith Comes By Hearing. Thank you!
    Here are some staggering facts: Earth's population numbers in the billions, and it's growing every day. There are over 7,100 languages spoken all over the world. 70% of people alive today primarily learn through audible communication, and 50% cannot read at a functional level. How will they ever hear the Gospel? There's no way that one ministry can complete this task alone. Praise God: We are not alone.
    Faith Comes By Hearing has come alongside the worldwide translation community in a movement to finish the task – to ensure that everyone on Earth has access to Jesus Christ’s Gospel in a format they can understand. The various ministries carrying out this work have entered into an unprecedented time of unity, meaning that at long last, after 2,000+ years, we can finally see the finish line.

Our goal: To work in partnership to see that the Word of God is recorded and freely provided in every language that needs it by the year 2033.

This is it. The final sprint. The Great Commission completed in our generation. With your help, we will see it done. Come with us on this journey and be a part of changing the world for Christ.
