THE MITE OFFERING

EVERY OFFERING COUNTS

In Luke 2 and Mark 12, we are introduced to an unnamed woman, an overlooked character, a forgotten widow.


As Jesus is in the Temple observing givers give their offerings, he witnesses this widow give two small mites (coins). Hear the power of Jesus' statement of this woman's act:


"...This widow has given by far the largest offering today. All these others made offerings that they'll never miss; she gave extravagantly what she couldn't afford - she gave her all!" Luke 12:1-4 MSG 


The beauty of this solitary moment in history is that we see this woman give sacrificially, out of her love for God. And more than that, God saw and took note - not just saw, but recorded it in the pages of history.


Annually, Indiana A/G Women "adopt" a cause, a project, a group that we are compelled by God to bless with an offering. Our challenge to you is to give, to give your best, to give a gift, not from your surplus, but from your heart. And trust that God will see and will acknowledge for all time your sacrifice of love.

2026 MITE OFFERING RECIPIENT - MISSIONARY LISA RUSSI and

PERLES DE PRIX CAFE

In France, 80% of women trafficked for the purposes of sexual exploitation are from low-income countries. Survivors of forced prostitution must testify against their traffickers in order to claim asylum. Threats of violence against them and their families back home make it difficult for them to do this. Once they take the courageous step to testify, the French government provides basic needs for their survival. However, without legitimate work experience and proper care, these women struggle to find employment. Some women return to the street with even greater threats to their safety. The Perles de Prix Cafe, a community coffee shop, would provide trauma-informed care, spiritual care, and job experience for survivors of human trafficking..


Indiana A/G Women would like to raise $15,000 in 2026 to help make a difference in France.


Join us at VITAL 2026 to help make this dream a reality!
