Holston Conference members are encouraged to support their favorite Holston ministries on Dec. 2, when the denomination celebrates "Giving Tuesday" with a promise to match the first $1 million in donations.
Holston-related ministries established as "The Advance" projects under the General Board of Global Ministries (GBGM) are eligible to receive matching donations.
Last year on "Giving Tuesday," United Methodists collectively raised a record $6.5 million on line in through The Advance. 11,000 individuals and churches in 34 countries gave more than 16,300 gifts to mission and ministries they believe in.
In Holston Conference, a ministry supported by the Johnson City District, the English-Speaking United Methodist Church of Prague received a total $7,090 in last year's "Giving Tuesday" donations.
Jubilee Project in Sneedville, Tenn., received $5,130 in 2013. Holston's Church and Community Workers, who are also supported through The Advance, received as little as $25. (See 2013 report.)
