HOPE CHRISTMAS PROJECT

Every year we look to bring hope at Christmas by living generously. We believe God is the blesser and He blesses us to be a blessing to others. We come together in our Christmas project each year to maximize the blessing. Together we can do so much more. This year for the project we are planning to bring hope in two ways that extend across the whole world:

Bringing Hope to Africa

* The Berry Family: support for fellow journeyers, Ben & Esther Berry, serving in Kenya

* House of Hope: Update to the building like replacing floors and damaged walls.

Bringing Hope through Starting Churches

*Regionally - West Michigan through Converge.

*Nationally – We continue to support Verve in Vegas, but we are also partnering with Splagna to help a church get started in the Mission/Castro area of San Francisco, an area that is full of hurting and broken people.

*Globally – Through partnerships with Splagna and Gateway Leaders, we will be supporting the salary of Sunil, a pastor in remote area of India, as he starts a church in a very difficult area. He is one of the only Christians in his community. We’re excited for this new partnership!
