Sheaves for Christ FAQ


What if we missed the Sacrificial Offering Date of August 28th?

Sunday, August 28th was the day that the General Youth Division invites churches nationwide to receive a special sacrificial offering for SFC during a Sunday service. It marks the end of the 2016 SFC campaign and is intended to be a final opportunity for your local church's SFC fundraising efforts.  However, there is still time to take an offering for SFC if you weren’t able to on August 28th.  You have until September 18th to receive an offering.

What happens after the Sacrificial Offering on August 28th?

Your sectional youth leader will be contacting you between September 1st and September 19th to request information concerning your total SFC offering. The amount that you indicate to him should be the actual amount that you are sending from your local church.

Where do I send my offering?

Your SFC offering should be sent directly to the Oklahoma District Youth Secretary, Rev. Derek Borders.  His mailing address is: 4500 Katie Ridge Dr., Moore, OK 73160. All Pastors should have received a mailer from the GYD with a self addressed envelope for convenience in mailing your offering.
