This special edition is your complete account of the Mission and Service Fund at work. It includes stories, lists, facts, and figures about the 2010 ministries and partners receiving M&S support. This year for the first time there are also a number of tools to help you raise M&S awareness—and funds—in your congregation. There’s a worship service outline, a Bible study, a workshop outline, and children’s program.
