12/16/2010
LOUISVILLE - Kentucky Baptists gave more to the Cooperative Program in November than October, exceeding the monthly budget requirement, but overall support is 10.5 percent behind for fiscal year 2010-11.
The total for November's CP gifts was $1,967,616 compared to $1,485,219 in October. Gifts exceeded the $1,958,333 needed for the month by $9,283.
“It is encouraging to see our November giving exceed our budget,” said Billy Compton, executive associate for Cooperative Program and Resources at the Kentucky Baptist Convention. “We are grateful for the generosity of our KBC church family.”
November giving helped offset October totals that contributed to the slow start to the fiscal year. The annual budget goal is $23.5 million. As of Dec. 1, gifts to the Cooperative Program were running more than $618,000 behind budget.
