Here We Go!


 The stories have been trickling in!  We love hearing how you are using your $20 to live out "the Word and healing ministry of Jesus".  Here is just one story of how $20 was used:

"I just wanted to report that I have sent the $20 you gave me on Sunday to World Vision to help fight malnutrition.  They had sent me some information indicating that relentless drought and food scarcity are leading to more child deaths.  Without sustainable food sources, many African families cannot provide healthy food for their children.  They urgently need our help to ease the pain of hunger that so many families face.  The $20 gift will be multiplied 8x to help save children's lives."

$20 Project Success!

A big "Thank You" to everyone who helped us kick off the $20 Project at all three worship services today.  If you missed the opportunity to hear about this project, here is a brief recap.  Redeemer Lutheran Church recently sold a piece of property.  From the sale of that property we felt it was our obligation to tithe on the income we received.  With the Board of Director's approval and with Malachi 3:10 as our inspiration, we choose a rather creative way to tithe.  Each man, woman and child in attendance today received a $20 bill and were charged with giving prayerful consideration to how he/she/they could use this money to glorify God.  We pray that God will multiply this money while we live out the Word and healing ministry of Jesus Christ. 

We would love to hear your plans.  Maybe your family is partnering with another family to serve in a larger way?  Have your children come up with a unique way to help?   How has this project inspired you?  We look forward to hearing your stories!

Welcome to the $20 Project

"Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse...test me in this and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that you will not have room enough for it."
