In recent years, Disciple and UCC congregations have shared some of their stories with us on how they have used innovative and creative ways to raise money for a particular Global Ministries project. We are sharing a sampling of these ideas thinking that they might be of interest to you when thinking about how to raise money for a project. 

Global Ministries is ready to assist you in your efforts and can provide resources for your use. Please contact: Sarah Riester, sriester@dom.disciples.org or 317-713-2564 to request a display or other resources for your event. If you would like to submit your church’s story or even a video, please send those to Sarah as well!
