The Oklahoma Indian Missionary Conference has major financial needs in the three areas of Church Extension, Native American Children's Fund and Parish Partners. You can support these important endeavors by giving through the ADVANCE.

The Advance for Christ and His Church ("the Advance") is an official program of The United Methodist Church for voluntary, designated, second-mile financial giving. Through the Advance, United Methodist annual conferences, districts, local churches, and organizations (except United Methodist Women)--and individuals and families--may choose to support particular, approved mission programs or mission personnel with their financial gifts. The Advance is "designated giving" because it gives donors an opportunity to select specific mission programs or persons. The Advance is "second-mile giving" because, in The United Methodist Church, the first mile (priority) is for local churches to support World Service and other apportioned funds. Learn more about the Advance at the General Board of Global Ministries Web Site.
