With all that’s gone on this year it’s hard to believe we are on the doorstep of the Holiday season. With the Holiday season comes our annual Hope Christmas Project.

The needs this year for our Global Partners are larger than ever and the opportunity for significant impact through our giving is greater than ever too.  Would you join us in being a miracle for these great organizations this Christmas season.

In the COVID world it’s been natural to look inward, be anxious, play it safe, and be focused on self.  The Hope Christmas Project gives us the opportunity to look beyond ourselves, look outward, and trust God.  When we do that, God blesses.

This year we are looking to raise $25,000 above and beyond normal giving.  Here’s where that money will go:

*Our Compassion Center in Peru.  Staff will make home deliveries of needed staple items – food, hygiene kits, clean water – to our sponsored children and their families! 

*Verve Church in Vegas.  We will cover the costs for all the work they do running a community center in the worst Housing Project in Vegas.  Verve has suffered a drop of 30% in normal giving, so this will allow this crucial ministry to continue.

*Converge.  We will help start and fund other churches that are bringing “relationships, not religion” including along the lakeshore, and in places like the heart of Detroit.

*Local Organizations.  We will be helping local families with food insecurity.  These are great partners who have been facing increased need and decreased funding.

So, would you join us in blessing others?  We can be a miracle for kids and families in Peru, for children in Marble Manor, for families looking for hope in the Midwest, and for those in our own backyard.
