Dear Brothers and Sisters in Gafcon,
It’s only one week till Gafcon Sunday on June 29, so we’re looking at the fourth and final task of Gafcon—to generate missional resources.
As a global fellowship of orthodox Anglicans, we’re blessed to share God’s good gifts with each other, as we generate resources for mission.
The earth is the Lord’s and all that is in it, and so we confidently trust him to supply all our needs, and to enable us to steward his gifts wisely.
Firstly, we generate missional resources by communicating needs.
We identify ministry opportunities through our networks, so we can inform our movement of practical ways to demonstrate partnership.
Secondly, we generate missional resources by raising support.
We encourage generous giving to our churches and organisations, so they can refuse to depend upon funds from compromised sources.
Thirdly, we generate missional resources by sharing possessions.
We express the heart of our fellowship as we all provide finances, hospitality, infrastructure, knowledge, leadership, materials, and skills.
Fourthly, we generate missional resources by developing sustainability.
We promote sustainable development that rejects a poverty mindset, and pursues income-generating projects for long-term stability.
Your generosity helps us generate missional resources at this vital time for the Anglican Communion.
Please pray the Gafcon Collect on June 29 when we celebrate Gafcon Sunday, and please play the video and collect a special offering.
Thank you for generously supporting our cause at this important time.
Yours in Christ,
Bishop Paul Donison,
General Secretary, Gafcon
