It's called 10-Fold.
10-Fold is about multiplying ministry and mobilizing passionate people to stand up and be counted for the causes they believe in. The event will launch on October 10, 2010 and last for 10 days. Every day will focus on a different project supported through The Advance, the designated giving arm of The United Methodist Church. The goal is to gain the support of 10,000 people for each of the 10 projects.
With the support of annual conferences and churches, 10-Fold will bring these global projects to the people through webcasts, streaming video, online chats and other media. For 10 days, these ministries will be on your doorstep. You can provide tangible support just by registering your interest with one of these Advance projects. During the event, $1.00 will be donated for every person that signs up as an advocate for a 10-Fold project, up to $10,000 per project.
It’s time to step out and be someone who stands for something. Be counted. Be a part of the movement. It’s in your hands to multiply God’s work; Turn 10 to 10,000 and make it a movement 10-Fold.
What will you do?
