The Church of God (Seventh Day) International Federation is the global church entity, emerging from the previous International Ministerial Congress.
Established in 1978 with the purpose of uniting the international church, supporting doctrinal unity, and coordinating its evangelistic mission, the church now has members in 44 nations and contacts in 100+ countries.
The International Federation Annual Sabbath takes place on the first or second Sabbath of each November. Participants learn about the progress of the international church, have opportunity to pray for specific needs, and understand how they can be regularly involved. Congregations in every country are encouraged to generously take up an offering in order to support the international church's work in providing leadership training, theological training, mobilising missionaries, development of evangelism and discipleship materials for use in diverse cultures, church planting in regions of the world where we have opportunities, and of judiciously developing the infrastructure needed for a vibrant 21st century church in Christ.
The video directly below is designed to give some context to the development of the Church of God (Seventh Day) International Federation, as presented by current board member, John Klassek from Australia.

As family partnering together and defined in Christ alone, the International Ministerial Congress of the Church of God (Seventh Day) celebrates this distinctiveness on the first Sabbath every November.
Thus every year the Annual Sabbath in November is a day dedicated to the blessing and the work of the Church of God (Seventh Day) International Federation throughout the world. It's a time of refection and reviewing all God has been doing in our midst, sharing photos and videos of baptisms, new church plants, commissioning of faithful men into service, retirement, different missions and ministries, as well as looking forward, upward and outward.
An offering is also taken up in each fellowship throughout the world in a spirit of partnership and stewardship, so that the International Federation may be further and better equipped to minister among us all.
It's also a time of the year when annual reports are submitted, giving greater detail and insight into the everyday walk of faith of our brothers and sisters throughout the world.
