Gifts of Change (Something Extra Projects)
Gifts of Change is a series of special projects that congregations, church groups and individuals can fund over and above contributions to Presbyterians Sharing. While specific examples are provided to give an idea of what a donation can do, we work with our partners to provide funding and resources as needed. Our partners will use your gift to carry out the goals of the program. Actual costs depend on local markets and the country of work.
Order a Gifts of Change catalogue and see the list of projects
Once a year, a new catalogue is available for order. It is the perfect size to slip into a bulletin for a Sunday service. Order these catalogues for free from The Book Room and encourage your congregation or group to give gifts of change.

Cariboo – Fill a Minister’s Gas Tank --CM28
Mission Moment
In a ministry that is pastorally responsible for over 87,000 square kilometers, travel is a daily part of the mission we do. The ministers often travel several hours each day to lead worship in the various ministry points, visit the sick and shut-in, and reach out to those who need to know of Christ’s love. The Cariboo House Church Mission owns and operates 2 4X4 trucks which take the team on logging roads and busy rural highways between the far-flung locations of our ministry. With gas prices the way they are these days, it is a great gift that we can have our gas tanks filled to continue doing this important outreach on behalf of Christ’s church. House churches gather in groups as small as two people to as large as 65. The support of people through ‘Gifts of Change’ make it possible for God’s people to reach out to more and more of those who are outside the bounds of traditional churches and help them to be a part of a Christian community of faith.
