Donation Stories

Below, staff share about two specific donations that were received. Each testimony gives evidence of the faithful supporters who are impacting the ministry! We desire to be good stewards of all the gifts that come our way, but it is amazing how the "widow's mite" often moves one's heart more than the "larger" gifts...

Matthew 6:19-21 NIV
Treasures in Heaven
"Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also."


I just wanted to highlight a donation we received on the Collection Center on Saturday. Apparently a young girl had been saving some money and brought it to us in a little envelope.
Her donation came to 64 cents and reminded me of a boy with a couple fish and some bread that fed 5,000. May God continue in his own ways to enable this ministry to go on.

As I was helping open the donation mail on Wednesday, we received $2 gift with the shakily, handwritten note ”I am sorry that I cannot give more”.
Let us thank God, that as we seek to experience Him, he blesses us … and also the givers.
