The $10 Church |
|
Learn how teamwork builds one church a month for just $10.
Each
year, Maranatha receives thousands of requests for church and school
buildings from countries around the globe. From Grenada to
Colombia to Namibia to Taiwan, thousands of Seventh-day Adventist congregations without a place
of worship are asking for our help.
The
$10 Church program helps fulfill part of this need by encouraging thousands
of people to contribute just $10 a month. Since 1988, this program has sponsored more than 200 churches in two dozen countries.
How it started
In 1879 a church congregation in Michigan wanted to build a new place of worship, but the members had no money. After some thought, they decided that each member would set aside just one dime each week for a new building.
This
strategy not only provided a new church; it also built a strong
community as everyone worked together to provide the needed funds. The
Dime Tabernacle, as this project came to be known, was an example of
the power collaboration brings.
The $10 Church is based on the
same concept.
How it works
Each
month Maranatha designates several projects to be recipients of
the money raised through The $10 Church. Program membership continues
to steadily increase as people of all ages are joining together to make
a difference.
