Christmas Offering
“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.”
For God so Loved that He Gave…
The theme “For God so loved the world that He gave” is a powerful reminder of the sacrificial love demonstrated through the gift of Jesus Christ. This divine act of giving sets a profound example for us to follow, especially in supporting vital ministries that share God’s love with the world.
Your Gift Makes a Difference
“For God so loved the world that He GAVE…” (John 3:16). Giving is at the very heart of God’s nature. Our own giving, then, is not about the amount or the outward appearance of the gift; it’s about the heart behind it (1 Samuel 16:7). When we give, we express our love, trust, and commitment to putting Him first. This kind of giving not only honors God, but also helps us extend His love and message to our community, reaching others for Christ.
What Will My Gift Do?
Give the Gospel Globally
The Lottie Moon offering provides essential support for our foreign missionaries. These brave men and women leave their homes and families to share the gospel in distant lands, often facing great challenges and risks. By giving to this cause, we not only honor the sacrifice of Christ but also empower missionaries to spread the good news of God’s love to the farthest corners of the earth.
Give Language & Love Locally
In our own community, the need to give extends to supporting our Latino neighbors through Spanish Bible classes and our English as a Second Language (ESL) programs. Many in our community face language barriers that hinder their ability to thrive and fully engage in society. Through ESL classes and Spanish Ministry, we have the opportunity to demonstrate God’s love in a practical way by helping them learn English, which opens doors to better employment, education, and integration into the community. This support is not just about language; it’s about showing love and hospitality to those who are often marginalized and helping them build a better future for themselves and their families.
Give Jesus to the Generations
The Rocket Town Children’s Ministry is another area where our giving can make a profound impact. This ministry focuses on teaching children the Bible and helping them develop healthy, life-long relationships. In a world where children are increasingly exposed to negative influences, Rocket Town provides a safe and nurturing environment where they can learn about God’s love, grow in their faith, and build strong, positive relationships. Supporting this ministry is an investment in the next generation, ensuring they have the foundation they need to lead godly and purposeful lives.
