October 18, 2021, is the third annual United Methodist Men (UMM) Give Day.

The General Commission on United Methodist Men receives less than 25% of its yearly budget funding from World Service Funds. Give Day is an essential funding source that enables the commission to provide resources and support to United Methodist Men in our conferences and local churches.

As UMM re-tool and are expanding their resources for transformational small group experiences to reach younger and more diverse men, churches are finding a treasury of life enriching outcomes. Additional funds will address and expand their opportunities in local, district and conference settings.

Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders us and let us run with perseverance the race set before us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith.

––A paraphrase of Hebrews 12: 1-2a
