Jesus asks “do you believe in me?“  In John 11:25- 26, Jesus says to Martha, “I am the resurrection and the life.  Those who believe in me, even though they die, will live, and everyone who lives and believes in me will never die.  Do you believe this?” Each day, the General and Racial/Ethnic Ministries of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) answer Jesus’ question “Do you believe me?” through their witness to God’s good news.

Your support of the 2010 Easter Offering witnesses to our belief that we can do all things through Christ Jesus who believes in us.  Your support of these ministries extends our church’s witness from your doorsteps to the ends of the earth.
