As the year draws to a close, MWC is finalizing the numbers on the Assembly <\/a>in Indonesia.  <\/p>\n

\u201cWe are very pleased to report that, as of publication time, we met the financial goal of breaking even,\u201d says Chief Operating Officer <\/a>Jeanette Bissoon. <\/p>\n

This was MWC\u2019s first time hosting a hybrid event <\/a>with in-person and online attendees. \u201cThere were many unknowns that made it challenging to budget for registration fees,\u201d says Jeanette Bissoon.  <\/p>\n

\u201cThanks to the careful planning and spending by Assembly staff, we were able to contain expenses, despite an additional year of commitments due to the postponement. Total expenses came in $285 000 less than budget. These savings made up for the shortfall in revenues,\u201d says Jeanette Bissoon. <\/p>\n

The net impact of the variances in revenues and expenses, along with a transfer of $100 000 from general revenues that had been budgeted, resulted in a break-even position. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe are thankful to each person and organization that gave to make this result possible,\u201d says Jeanette Bissoon. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe are also thankful for each person who attended Assembly,\u201d says Chief International Events Officer Liesa Unger. \u201cWe thank those who joined online \u2013 at home on their computers or together with others at a local church \u2013 for joining us as we learned to run a hybrid event. We thank our Indonesian brothers and sisters who attended portions of the event in Salatiga, Semarang or at one of the satellite locations. We are confident that God\u2019s Spirit moved among us and it is our prayer that the blessing we received in gathering will carry us forward.\u201d <\/p>\n
