Mission Conference War Fund Surpasses Sixty Thousand Dollars
Amid tense scenes at the General Conference Missionary meeting, offerings for the war effort and missionary movement exceeded prior records, hitting over $61,000 with expectations to reach $65,000. A testimonial by Ida Shumaker about an Indian girl’s unfinished quilt inspired donors, including a $1,000 gift from Louisiana. Projections push next year’s goal to $100,000 and the 200th church anniversary to $200,000. The report on young people’s role notes data gaps from about one thousand churches but affirms their central place in the church’s future.
