Through the Love Boldly, Serve Joyfully, Lead Courageously – Miracle Sunday Initiative, United Methodists around the world are joining in prayer, worship, study, and generosity to strengthen theological education in Africa, Europe, and the Philippines by helping endow 500 scholarships annually for pastors who need formal theological training. Because we are a connectional church, this is not only an invitation but a shared responsibility to support the formation of faithful, Spirit-led leaders who will serve congregations in challenging missional contexts with wisdom, courage, and deep spiritual grounding.

Please set aside October 11th as a special Sunday of worship and offering and encourage your congregation to give generously as together we invest in the future of the church and in pastors who will love boldly, serve joyfully, and lead courageously.
