Editor's Notes

  1. Every four minutes, someone comes to Christ through Alliance ministries somewhere in the world. For every dollar dropped in an Alliance offering plate, 11 cents goes to missions. That’s the highest missions giving percentage of any U.S. church denomination. The next highest is 6 cents on the dollar. For every dollar given to the Great Commission Fund (GCF), 78.5 cents supports “end-of-the-earth” (international) ministries, and 20.5 cents supports Judea and Samaria (U.S.) ministries. Only one penny is spent on governance. The Alliance is growing faster than any U.S. denomination its size or larger. In 2011, we had a net gain of 22 U.S. churches.
