The last 2 years at Christmas, we’ve embarked on a generosity exercise. On Christmas Eve, rather than emphasize how we can gain more resources to meet our budgetary needs, we’ve used our year-end giving to meet needs globally, regionally and locally.
In the video above, you can see what we did globally last year with one-third of the Christmas Eve Offering. The team to Haiti was able to help rebuild a church and restore hope in one little village in the surrounding area of Port-au-Prince.
This year, with one-third of our Christmas Eve offering, we want to complete what we started in Haiti by renovating the existing parsonage into classrooms.
While there are already classrooms on site, the reason this project is so significant is because there is very specific criteria allowing this school to become a Compassion school if the classrooms are finished in time. A Compassion school will bring funding and resources to impoverished children, while exponentially expanding the influence of the school and allowing many more children to be helped.
As Americans who have been given more than people in most places, we have a high responsibility to help those most in need. The offering will be taken at our Christmas Eve services. Our goal is to raise $70,000.
And now what we are simply asking of you is to pray. What might God lead you to do? How might God move in your heart? How might you be led through a whisper to give to this offering that will be dispensed to parts around the world?
