The Rev. Jeff Childs, chair of the Conference Global Ministries Team, presented the 2024 Conference Advance Specials to the Upper New York Conference during the Thursday afternoon plenary. The projects and ministries are listed on page 24 of the 2023 Journal.
Twenty-three ministries were included on the list.
The Rev. Childs explained that the Global Ministries teams was reactivated in the past year, and that the team plans to raise awareness of the specials throughout the conference and develop a process to add additional Advance Specials.
He then encouraged conference attendees to visit the Advance Specials display tables in the SRC Arena to learn more.
The body approved the list of Advance Specials.
“I want to encourage all of us to prioritize these ministries,” said Upper New York Resident Bishop Héctor A. Burgos Núñez, encouraging members to visit the conference website to learn more. “As we lift up these ministries we are saying as Upper New York that these ministries are our priorities. Educate your churches on these causes and encourage people to give to them generously.”
