October is Pastor Appreciation Month, a time to recognize the faithful ministers who lead, encourage, and walk alongside our congregations. Their work extends far beyond Sunday mornings, touching lives and strengthening communities in ways that often go unseen.
Ministry doesn’t happen in isolation. Pastors, congregations, and the organizations that serve them all depend on people who believe in their work and want to help make it possible.
At the Oklahoma Disciples Foundation, we have the privilege of walking alongside congregations, individuals, and families as they consider how their generosity can support ministry now and in the future.
But have you ever wondered who supports the Foundation?
Much of our work is made possible by people who choose to give TO the Foundation, enabling us to continue serving those who give THROUGH the Foundation.
The Disciple Club provides financial support for the Foundation’s ongoing work, while the Howard Operating Endowment helps sustain it for generations to come. Both represent people who believe in the importance of a Foundation dedicated to supporting Disciples ministry.
Just as we take time this month to appreciate the pastors who serve our congregations, we are grateful for those whose generosity allows the Foundation to continue serving alongside them.
As you consider the people and organizations that make ministry possible, we invite you to reflect on how your generosity might strengthen that work.
Behind every ministry are people who believe it’s worth supporting.
