Advance for Christ and His ChurchThe Advance for Christ and His Church ("the Advance") is an official program of The United Methodist Church for voluntary, designated, second-mile financial giving. Through the Advance, United Methodist annual conferences, districts, local churches, and organizations (except United Methodist Women)--and individuals and families--may choose to support particular, approved mission programs or mission personnel with their financial gifts. The Advance is "designated giving" because it gives donors an opportunity to select specific mission programs or persons. The Advance is "second-mile giving" because, in The United Methodist Church, the first mile (priority) is for local churches to support World Service and other apportioned funds. |

Bishop Ntambo Nkulu
Ntanda, in a recent visit to the United States, asked local churches to help rebuild
vandalized village churches and help establish new United Methodist Churches in the North
Katanga Conference. Many of the 700 churches meet in primative buildings or under a
tree. Shown below is step two in making bricks. Clay is packed into a brick
molding machine, closed, and the moisture squeezed out. Then, the bricks are air
dried for 2 weeks. Here you see some of the 160,000 which are ready to be
fired. To help build churches, give through the Advance #004533-7AN.
