Rambling with Raymond 2026

Last year I reported that the Mission Support for the first six months of 2025 was the best in the past three years. Mission Support in the amount of $1,100,404 for the first six months of 2026 is $17,600 less than last year.

The comparison of the first six months (February – July) of 2026 to the first six months of 2025 is shown as operating revenue and expenditures and non-operating revenue and expenditures.

The difference in the Operating income of $28,947.88 (2026) and $141,453.05 (2025) is in the timing of paying for the expenditures.

The loss on the sale of properties of $356,889.45 (2026) and $75,193.00 (2025) is due to the high appraised value of the properties at the time of acquisition from Holy Closure.

The net proceeds from the sale of properties in the amount of $503,360.55 (2026) and $182,186.17 (2025) were distributed as required by the Synod Council resolution.

Please refer to the following report which shows each congregation’s Mission Support for the first six months of the fiscal year (February – July) for 2026 as compared to the same time period in 2025.

I thank you for your support in the ministry of the South Carolina Synod.
