- Details - After consulting with the leadership of church and taking poll from the congregation, we tried yesterday ( Sunday, Oct 22, 2017) with offering for the first time during the service. The followings are our offering policies: voluntary, no passing of collection basket during the service but install a box in a fixed point in the sanctuary and people drops their offering at free will, selection of treasurer from the congregation for accountability along with one representative from Bethesda Ministries, 100 % of offering given back to the congregation at the end of same service in most of cases and the ultimate use and for whom is decided by the congregation itself. That day's offering total was $ 42.50 pesos ( $ 2.40 Usd) which includes $ 20.00 pesos tithes from a woman. At the unanimous decision of the congregation, we passed all to a lady who has to buy her medicine with it.
