Inspirational Giving

We are asking each family to prayerfully consider what gift they can give until March 31, 2008, in addition to their regular giving, so that this is so desperately needed Re-Creation Center can be built on the property God has provided. As always we do not want anyone to feel left out if they just can't give. Your commitment to prayer is needed to help us reach our goal of $10 million.

  • Ask God what He would have you give to make this vision a reality
  • Trust God to provide what He impresses you to give
  • The scriptures do not teach equal giving but equal sacrifice to accomplish God's work



  1. Ask God for creative ways to increase your gift. You might consider cash from savings, tax refunds, garage sales, or an extra part time job. Also consider reducing your expenses or deferring a major purchase as a sacrifice to God. Involve your whole family in giving a specific amount.

  2. The Bible teaches that spiritual maturity includes developing the habit of regular giving. Giving the first portion of our income shows that God really has first place in our lives. Also, you can give far more than you thought possible when it's spread out over time. See the "My Potential Giving" chart.

  3. Creative methods for increased giving can maximize your tax advantage. Check with your own CPA or we have knowledgeable financial consultants who are willing to give you input on some of the best ways to give this gift.

Pray
this is the first and most important step in preparing your heart to respond to God's call to action. Ask Him what he would have you give to help others find the peace and promise you have found in Christ. listen to what He says.

Prepare to Sacrifice
God does not expect equal giving, but he does expect equal sacrifice. Remember these are gifts above and beyond your regular tithes. Think in terms of what you can give up in order to reach our community for Christ.

Expect a Miracle!
It is an awesome God we server... so trust that He will provide what He impresses you to give, even if it's greater than the resources you can readily identify or expect. Leave room for faith in your commitment
