2010 Sheaves for Christ Deadline - Sunday, August 29th
What is the "Offering Date" on August 29th?
The offering date on August 29th is a day that the General Youth Division
invites churches nationwide to receive a special sacrificial offering for SFC
during the Sunday Morning Service. It is intended to be a final thrust for your
local church to cap off the SFC campaign.

When
is my SFC offering due?
We need to have offerings turned in to Illinois Youth Ministries by September 30th.
Where
do I send my offering?
Your SFC offering should be sent directly to the Illinois Youth Ministries,
care of Rev. Greg Wilhelm. The mailing address is: 604 Shanon Dr.,
Heyworth, IL 61745. All Pastors should have received a mailer from the GYD with
a self addressed envelope for convenience in mailing your offering.
If you have questions regarding your offering amount last year, or any other
questions or concerns you may contact Anthony Bailey, IL Youth President,
directly at: 815-289-9139 or email youthpresident@illiniyouth.org.
How
much of the funds that we give to SFC stay in Illinois?
Forty percent of the funds received stay right here in our district. These
funds are used to assist in financing annual events such as Youth Camps and
Youth Convention, etc. This forty percent is also the budget we use to
help fund IL District Bible Quizzing. Each year a stipend is given to support
the top 2 two teams in each division to attend the North American Bible Quiz
Tournament. In recent years, the significant decrease in offerings has
restricted our ability to continue several programs as well as reduced our
allocation to our current ministries. Many cost cutting measures
have been instituted and the Youth Committee has made some tough decisions to
take the necessary steps to operate within our current budget. However, we believe we will
turn the corner and rebound with a great offering in 2010.
What
happens with the 60% that is sent to the GYD?
Sixty percent of our SFC offering will be sent to General Youth Division at WEC
in order to support our allocation partners. Those partners are Foreign
Missions, Home Missions, Tupelo Children's Mansion, Lighthouse Ranch for Boys,
Spirit of Freedom Ministries and many others... visit www.sheavesforchrist.com

Thank you once again for supporting Sheaves for Christ! Your support over the
years has been a tremendous blessing to this great cause!
