Online Giving
Your contribution will fund theological education outside the United States in perpetuity.
Way to Give
We have many ways to give. Credit card, bank transfer, Venmo, or learn where to send a check, make a commitment, or give the gift of stock.
While it is important to give through your congregation’s offering, we know that may not always be possible. Your congregation may not be participating, you may be away on that Sunday, or you may wish to make a multi-year, stock, or larger gift.
In any of these cases, you are invited to make your gift or commitment here.
Individuals and Families, Make Your Gift Special!
No gift is too large or too small! There is a place for you. We do not ask for equal gifts but invite equal sacrifice.

Or make it Even More Special.
Individuals and Families may also name and designate gifts.
A gift of $50,000 or more allows an individual to name a fund in their honor or in memory of a loved one.
A gift of $100,000 or more grants the donor the ability to name a fund and designate the country or episcopal area it will support.
The following is a giving card that is to be used on Miracle Sunday, May 17, 2026, to assist the congregation in making their gift toward the emerging miracle and to allow the church treasurer to acknowledge and record the gift for the individual’s tax purposes.
Congregations: Make Your Gift Count in a Special Way!
Congregations are invited to join this campaign with gifts that can carry a lasting impact:
$150,000 or more: your congregation may establish a named fund.
$250,000 or more: your congregation may both name a fund and designate the country or episcopal area it will support.
Circle Recognition: your congregation can also be recognized as a Faith, Grace, Peace, Joy, Hope, or Love Circle when the average gift per worshiper meets or exceeds the amount for one of these Circles.
Example: If your congregation gives a total of $8,250 and 29 members participate, the average gift is $284 per giver. This places your church in the Hope Circle, since the average is greater than $250.
Conferences and Episcopal Areas: Make the Giving in Your Area Special
Conferences and Episcopal Areas may also name and designate gifts.
With a $500,000 gift, an Episcopal Area or Conference may partner with another Episcopal Area or Conference, one from the United States and one from outside the United States, to establish a fund named in their honor. The Endowment will assist in pairing Episcopal Areas and Conferences.
Smaller Episcopal Areas or Conferences may opt to add a third partner to their collaboration.
Your generosity establishes a lasting legacy, empowering theological leaders worldwide. To explore partnership opportunities or for assistance in connecting with another annual conference or episcopal area, send an email to MiracleSunday@eftecc.org. and indicate you would like assistance to partner with another conference or episcopal area.
Three Giving Pathway Strategies
Understanding the three core strategies for giving is essential to the success of our campaign:
Participation & Modeling Strategy
This strategy focuses on broad participation and leadership modeling. It is built on the idea that if leaders give generously, the people follow with generosity.
The approach begins with bishops modeling generosity, followed by conference leaders, and then congregations. Each group’s gift is announced during the six-week campaign, reinforcing momentum and visibility.
Key success factors:
Strong participation at every level.
Clear modeling from leadership.
Training leads individuals in each giving band to share both their personal gift and the collective impact of their group.
The more bishops who participate, the more conferences are engaged, and the more congregations follow their leaders.
Conference and Episcopal Area Challenge
This strategy builds on the Conferences and Episcopal Areas Make the Giving in Your Area Special, in which the Regional Director challenges a conference with a goal to achieve. Any challenge goal needs to be higher than what can be achieved through the participation and modeling strategy.
High-Capacity Givers Strategy
Each conference identifies 3–4 high-capacity givers, each contributing an average of $25,000; this could generate $5 million. A guide will be developed to assist the Conference Director and the Bishop in soliciting these gifts.
