GOLD STASH FOR CASH FUNDRAISER
Our Gold Exchange fundraiser held on June 27th raised nearly $600. Thank you to all of you who exchanged your gold. While we did not ask you to do so, many of you even donated 100% of the profit. This was another successful endeavor towards building higher. Praise God!
RUMMAGE Sale
Our Rummage Sale July 17th and 24th was an incredible success! The More Than Enough building campaign earned nearly $2,000 because of YOUR efforts. Again, thank you to everyone who brought in their donations which made this event such a success. This event would not have been possible without the servants who came out at 7 am, 2 SATURDAYS in a row. Our labor was sure to bring fruit and indeed, it did.
$925,000.00 divided by 100 people = $9,250.00
(OVER A FOUR YEAR PERIOD)
$925,000.00 divided by four years = $231,250.00
$231,250.00 divided by 100 people= $2,312.50
(EACH YEAR FOR FOUR YEARS)
$2,312.50.00 divided by 12 months= $192.71
(EACH MONTH)
100 people plus $192.71 per month over four years EQUALS
OUR GOAL TO DEBT FREEDOM
Welcome to our More Than Enough Building Campaign...I am so excited that after seven years of ministry and about five years of praying, fasting, searching, negotiating and looking for the open door from the Lord regarding a property...it is here! We have signed a lease with an option to buy a property less that a mile from our present location. We have given a $25,000.00 deposit to the owners, who are also the General Contractors and Builders of our New Facility. This property has a prophetic history and through our realtor, John Secor (who has a relationship with the owners), we were introduced and about a year later we have come to an agreement: They are going to build us a 3575 square foot building which will give us a Sanctuary that seats 145 people, plus 5 rooms for childrens church, fellowship and an office. The property also has an existing 3400 square foot building that is going to be renovated and brought up to code for offices, that can be used for income as a rental space, that will be ours as well, once we purchase within three years of our occupancy.
The owners hope to have the building up and ready for our use within 10 to 12 months. Our responsibility is to do two things, in this order:
Number One: Continue building the Church. They will build the building, but we must continue to grow as disciples and increase our penetration of society with the Gospel. Our present facility seats 105 people we are averaging 75-80 adults, with an anointed and intentional effort by the day we move into the new facility we can and should be at capacity, averaging 105 adults on Sundays. The world needs a word made flesh movement, that is; us becoming the manifestation of the sons of God we have been born again to become! We are commited to Reaching the Lost and Raising the Living.
Number Two: Raise the funds. We have never had a clear, concrete goal of how much we needed to raise, but now we do. It is a total of $925,000.00...This is our goal over the next four years. I have done some math to help us see how feasible this goal really is. So, please review the numbers above so that you may be encouraged and moved as well do your part in making our goal of debt freedom become a reality.
This is encouraging to me, it shows how possible this really is. Let me say that this is not supposed to be restrictive or compulsary in any way. This is only to give you an assurance of the feasibility in this goal and to show you how you can become a viable part to making this happen. If you are led to give more please do so, if you cannot give this much, but desire to sow into the building project don't be discouraged, but be faithful to your desire and give faithfully as the Lord has blessed and led you. In this breakdown, I am unable to show you the God-Factor, that is, the fact the God is Jehovah-Jireh and He is able to supply us this money in minutes.... but at the same time I find in the scriptures that God calls us to action, acting in partnership with Him. That is the reason I am calling upon you to give towards this building project. I am asking you to make a prayerful and thoughtful commitment to give as much as you can and do so faithfully, knowing that God loves a cheerful giver.
Every first Sunday of the Month we give an update on the progress of the building project and contributions to the building campaign, we collect the building fund offering, and we pray over the offering, for the givers and the building project! As someone who is giving towards this project I encourage you to be present... The scritpure says that we are to give as we have purposed in our hearts, purpose in giving comes from a desire birthed in prayer and materialized through planning. Let us pray...God bless you and remember...
It's time to Build
