Q:  Can I designate my electronic gift to a special purpose?
A:  Yes, you can designate your donation to any approved fund, such as IMAGINE, General Fund, Ethiopia or Love Fund.  Please note, however, that you cannot designate funds to a specific group, such as kidzone, adult ministry, etc.  The elders determine these ministry needs and distribute funds to them from the General Fund.
