Last year you all gave generously to the Friends Forever Fund with your year-end giving and we were amazed at how God multiplied that! You surpassed our goal of $125,000, and with that, we were able to pay down the mortgage substantially, as well as partner with RIP Medical Debt to help meet a real need in our area. Medical debt was purchased for pennies on the dollar, and your donations were used to pay off $1,111,408.74 of medical bills for families in our surrounding counties!! We give all glory to God for His provision!
This year, our focus for the Friends Forever Fund is two-fold once again. We will be announcing our goal in the coming weeks, once we get some final estimates. That goal will include money needed to repair our roof over this 25,000 square foot building. As you can imagine, that will be a large amount needed. Our mission component this time is to partner with Mission of Hope. We will partner with them to donate $10,000 to provide meals for school children in Haiti. We will also have a meal packing event where we will personally pack the meals of rice, soy, 30 vitamins and minerals, and vegetables that will be shipped to Haiti. With our donation, we will be able to pack and send 28,571 meals!
Please begin praying for the Lord to show you how much to sacrificially give this year for the Friends Forever Fund. We will make our official offering to the Lord through our Friends Forever Fund at our Christmas Eve Service on Sunday, Dec 24th.
We can’t wait to see what God is going to do through each of you!

Chest Of Joash
The Chest of Joash provides an opportunity to give above and beyond the normal tithe. The money from it goes directly to work needed done on our building.
In 2 Chronicles 24 we find Joash repairing the temple and a chest was set outside of it for people to bring a tithe that was used to pay the workers restoring the temple. Verse 10 says, “And all the princes and all the people rejoiced and brought their tax and dropped it into the chest until they had finished.”
A huge THANK YOU to all of you who have joyfully donated just as the Israelite officials and people did!
You can give to the Chest of Joash by clicking the button below and selecting “Chest of Joash” in the drop down menu.
