"Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms." - 1 Peter 4:10 NIV DEAR VALUED MEMBERS & FRIENDS,Greetings in Christ, and Happy New Year! It seems unbelievable that 2019 has already arrived. The New Year is a special time. For many, it is a time of reflection.

DEDICATED TO FULFILLING GOD'S PROMISEBuilding stronger families is central to the mission of ACCU. When families feel the blessing of good financial stewardship, they are able to provide more, and give more to the Kingdom. Since 2009, we have felt God’s calling to become advocates for His children. Our nationally recognized adoption loan program has helped over 1,850 families become whole. Funds entrusted to ACCU allow us to make more adoption loans and find loving homes for orphans fulfilling God's promise to "place the lonely in families." If adoption is on your heart, we want to walk alongside you in your adoption journey. Our dedication to building stronger families does not stop at adoption. We provide services to help families gain financial strength through sound and Biblical principles of Christian stewardship. Our mission is to help you build lasting habits that you can pass on to the next generation. When you start your children off with a Youth Savings account, you can teach them the importance of good financial stewardship from an early age. SERVANTS OF THE KINGDOMWeek in and week out, staff members of ACCU live out our mission by serving Christians in the communities we serve. Our efforts include fundraising initiatives, charitable giving, event sponsorship, financial education seminars, manpower support for special events, and more! During the recent Christmas season, we were able to provide year-end blessings to 65 ministries as a recognition of the positive impact of their good works. Overcome with emotion, pastor Darian Venerable of Upward Call Church, one of the ministries receiving the gift, said “Thank you so much; I am totally surprised. This is unbelievable and so generous and so unexpected.” Also in December, ACCU employees participated in the Mary and David Foster Home Angel Tree program, donating Christmas gifts to over 100 foster youth. We are grateful to members like you, whose loyalty and support make these outreach efforts possible. When you partner with ACCU, you are choosing to invest in Kingdom causes that serve churches, ministries, families and many in communities across the country.
