42 (946) ADVENTIST REVIEW, JUNE 30, 2000 For the Heart of the Need Every five years the world church collects a special General Conference offering for a special high-priority project. Together each division of the world church rallies to help a needy area—even if it's outside their direct sphere of influence. Past General Conference offerings have helped build Adventist World Radio stations on Guam and in Italy, and the 1995 offering helped build hundreds of new churches in unentered areas (Hands Across the World). The General Conference 2000 offering is entitled For the Heart of the Need. It will be used by divisions facing huge Global Mission challenges to establish 1,040 new churches throughout the 10/40 window— Global Mission's highest priority. World divisions that have territories in the 10/40 window will bene- fit from this offering: Africa-Indian Ocean, Eastern Africa, Euro-Africa, Euro-Asia, Northern Asia-Pacific, Southern Asia, Southern Asia- Pacific, and Trans-European. Each of these divisions will develop plans to establish new con- gregations in unentered areas—reaching the unreached with hope.
