Other Special Offerings

• Birthday Thank Offering: Usually, on your birthday, you get a present. But in church, many people give a gift on their special day. It is called a Birthday Thank Offering.

  So, what happens to the Birthday Thank Offering? This gift is directed to church divisions outside North America to do mission work. Much of it is used in evangelistic activities. But some also go to clinics, hospitals, and educational institutions. A portion of your gift goes to administer the General Conference mission program, helping to move missionaries into new fields and advance the Adventist message. So, your gift of gratitude goes to missionaries and church institutions around the world who in turn will accept it with gratitude. It shows that being thankful can be contagious, doesn’t it?

• 13th-Sabbath Offering: Every 13th Sabbath, the church focuses on one of its world divisions to accomplish a mission goal. Often, the offering goes toward constructing a building that will be used for education, evangelism, or media outreach. The 13th-Sabbath offerings have been used to establish schools such as Central Philippine Adventist College. A recent offering made a youth camp possible in Belize. All the church members around the world join hands on these projects through sacrificial giving. Also, you can give a 13th-Sabbath offering anytime by marking it on your tithe envelope. Do you want to be part of something big? You’ll be part of a worldwide community expanding Adventist mission work when you give to the 13th-Sabbath offering. Remember: Our giving funds the mission to finish the work.
