Singapore Church Collects First Alabaster Offering

by | Nov 8, 2024

On 3 November 2024, The Singapore Church of the Nazarene had a special Sunday with a Global Missions emphasis. Each child brought their family’s Alabaster bank to the front to present it for collection. 

With the encouragement of their missions president, Engineer Kelvin Chin, they kicked off the month by challenging each family unit to construct their own Alabaster Offering bank. Then, the following month, children and their parents were encouraged to contribute something to their bank regularly. The goal was not to raise a certain amount of money but to encourage everyone to participate. Some emptied their pockets of spare change periodically, others put specific amounts in at designated times, and some committed to putting as much into their Alabaster bank as they spent on coffee each week of that month! 

When the banks were opened, and offerings counted, everyone was amazed to realize this church had collected over SG$500 (US$377)! Engr. Kelvin wrote: “It was encouraging to have the kids and parents participate in the process of saving and contributing to the building of God’s Kingdom! We pray that God will use this offering for the growth of His Church and the making Christ-like disciples in all nations.”
