From Global Ministries, The United Methodist Church:

Thank you for your support of Global Ministries’ missionaries by contributing to missionary support.  The need for support during these uncertain economic times is more important than ever, and we offer our deepest thanks to you.  There are over 300 missionaries serving in over 60 countries that can be supported through Covenant Relationships.  In 2010, over $6.1 million was raised for missionary support through The Advance.
