For over 50 years, generous giving to the America for Christ (AFC) Offering has enabled the American Baptist Home Mission Societies to provide financial support to American Baptist churches and affiliated organizations across the United States and Puerto Rico each year. Some examples of the positive impact your dollars have had on our beloved communities:
- Funding direct assistance to the residents of Youngstown, Ohio, including food boxes, meals for children, clothing banks, and distribution of commodities such as diapers, school supplies, clothing, and housewares.
- Funding youth education and enrichment programs as well as senior services that delivered lunches, health education, socialization opportunities, and groceries in bulk through a food pantry, among other things, to communities in and around Kansas City, Kansas.
- Funding Rainbow Acres, a faith-based residential community with a wide range of programs for developmentally disabled adults from more than 15 states and representing an array of faith backgrounds, including American Baptists.
These are just a few of the ways your dollars provide aid and comfort to those in need; there are many more. Please help us continue to bring healing and hope to communities, families, children, and Jesus’ disciples in 2025 by giving to America for Christ Offering.
