"But generous people plan to do what is generous, and they stand firm in their generosity." Isaiah 32:8 NLTAfter a life of service, how dows a retired ABCUSA minister, missionary or widowed spouse make ends meet? RMMO helps provide financial support to ease their burden a little.
Here is a letter from a recipient of the RMMO:Thank you for giving to the Ministers and Missionaries retirement offering. The check I received was deeply appreciated. Your giving to the Ministers and Missionaries offering makes it possible for all retired ministers and missionaries to receive a thank you check this year.Thank You and God Bless! Julia Gage
