Scratch out the last two numbers.
Divide what’s left by 2.

20. Would you consider increasing your General Mission giving
Example #1
Church Budget: $400,000
Take off last 2 numbers: $4,000
Divide by 2: $2,000
Would you consider increasing your General Mission giving
by $2,000 for next year?

21. Would you consider increasing your General Mission giving
Example #2
Church Budget: $150,000
