December Benevolence: Retired Ministers and Missionaries Offering (RMMO) - Following God’s call does not come without sacrifice. Retired ministers, missionaries and their widowed spouses often have limited options for adequately planning for the future. Medical problems, moves or the death of a spouse can also cause these leaders to find themselves far from the church family that once supported them. http://www.abc-usa.org/rmmo/
