Thousands of missionaries are spreading the gospel among unreached people groups all over the world. They are able to live and labor in difficult circumstances because of the support they receive from believers like you and me. They need our prayers, our encouragement, and our generosity. So, to support missionaries on the field and send more their way, the IMB is kicking off a new campaign that encourages giving to missions. The idea is simple. Sometime this month, with Thanksgiving feasts on the horizon, skip a meal and give the money that you would have spent on it to missions. Go without that hamburger combo meal you’ve become so fond of. Or, skip your Friday night out. Whether you would have spent $10, $20, or more, missing that meal and instead donating that money to missions will serve our workers abroad. We would encouraging your giving here to be above and beyond what you already give to and through your local church. There are a couple ways to do this. The easiest way is to text your donation. By texting “4Mission” to 80888, you can instantly give $10 through your phone company. The next easiest way is to give online at IMB.org/meal. You can be sure that 100% of your donation will go to missionaries and their work in spreading the gospel around the world, particularly among unreached peoples. Hopefully, these convenient options will make missing a meal #ForTheMission simple, quick, and sure. That’s the other thing – the hashtag #ForTheMission. We want you to spread the word through social media. So, as you miss a meal and donate money, encourage others to do the same by posting pictures of yourself with an empty plate and using the hashtag #ForTheMission. Twitter, Facebook, Instagram . . . whatever you use, we want this thing to go viral. Join us this month, and miss a meal #ForTheMission.
