New Wilmington Mission Conference

I was excited to hear the other day that the denominations mission corps is budgeted to increase in size the next couple years.

The Presbyterian Global Fellowship's Outbox blog highlights a study claiming giving in U.S. churches is hyper-focused on serving those who are giving instead of supporting others and mission.  I'm one of the crazy few who love to give to the church and mission organizations, so I'd like to comment on a couple findings.
