2020 Gift to the King
The Gift to the King offering this year is for the Comunidad de Fe Cumberland Presbyterian Church and medical clinic in Guatemala, Central America. The Community of Faith Church is our largest congregation in Guatemala. There have from 60 to 80 in attendance each Sunday. This church has weekly activities, as well as camps, women’s ministry, social outreach, and children’s programs. The “Community of Faith” CP Church was assimilated into the Cumberland Presbyterian Church in 2012, after several years being a provisional CP Church.
Normally, the Gift to the King Offering would not be large enough for an ambitious project like this. But, as the result of a generous gift by Trinity Presbytery for Community of Faith Church, the money from the Gift to the King offering will enable them to meet the need. This year our goal for the Gift to the King offering is $50,000. By adding this to the Trinity Presbytery donation the Community of Faith Church will have $260,000 to purchase the building they need where they need it. The church formed a property search committee in 2020 and they have several good leads on property in their price range. They hope to purchase a building and modify it to be used by both the church and the medical clinic. Your offering to this Gift to the King mission project will help to make these plans a reality.
This year’s Gift to the King project is a fantastic opportunity to support a church in a developing country which meets both spiritual and physical needs. It is the only CP Church in the world that houses a medical clinic as part of the churches outreach. A building of their own, with the size and location sufficient to house a medical clinic, will bring blessings to many in Guatemala. Please prayerfully consider a generous gift to this year’s Gift to the King Offering.
