Disciples Mission Fund Supports General Ministries
The special offerings taken at Easter for Disciples Mission Fund (DMF) provide tremendous support for Disciples general ministries, including the NBA. Your gifts and the DMF funding we receive annually directly impact our collaborative mission work with Disciples health and social service ministries to truly create communities of compassion and care across the life of the Church!
