CBF's Offering for Global Missions

The CBF Offering for Global Missions is the way most CBF field personnel are
supported in ministry. Your gifts to this Offering send them to the mission field
and keep them there to be and share the presence of Christ.

This year's Offering goal is $5.5 million, and you are a vital part of reaching that
goal and keeping field personnel in ministry. There are two major ways to help:
by giving to the Offering and by enouraging others in your church to give to the
Offering. Click here to learn more.
