April CP Totals Stay Ahead of Working Budget
05/18/2010
LOUISVILLE – Kentucky Baptists gave $1,894,246 through the Cooperative Program during April, enough to keep totals ahead of pace in order to meet the working budget of $23 million for the 2009-2010 fiscal year.
According to Lowell Ashby, Business Service Team leader for the KBC, a total of $15,462,008 has been collected for the current fiscal year through April.
The $1,894,246 received in April was $7,798 more than the $1,886,448 needed to stay on pace for the working budget, he said. In order to stay on pace for the working budget through the remainder of the fiscal year, an average of $1,884,498 is needed each month.
According to Ashby, CP totals remain behind the original fiscal year budget of $24,480,000 by 5.26 percent, or $857,992. However, because of the challenging national economy, the KBC is operating under the approved working budget of $23 million for the 2009-2010 fiscal year, he said.
“As we head into the last quarter of the fiscal year, we continue to celebrate Kentucky Baptists and their commitment to CP missions and ministries,” said Billy Compton, executive associate for Cooperative Program and resources. “The faithful and sacrificial giving of our churches does not go unnoticed.”
