Greetings in the name of the Lord!
During October we focused on “Generations”, our Capital Campaign for the next 12 months. The Generations theme is taken from Psalm 102:18 that says “Let this be recorded for a generation to come, so that a people yet to be created may praise the Lord”. Our work and labor of love is for today as well as for people yet to be created!
During our Campaign, we shared exciting plans for the next 12 months and how you may prepare and participate.
Here’s a quick recap!
We are challenging every person to tithe. That means to honor the Lord by trusting Him with the first 10% of your increase. Here’s the promise from Proverbs 3:9-10: “Honor the Lord by giving him the first part of all your income, and he will fill your barns with wheat and barley and overflow your wine vats with the finest wines.” To the tither, God promises radical and extreme favor!
Beyond the tithe, we have set three goals:
Caring Goal of $150,000 - Every family or single person sowing an additional $13/week. This will reduce our mortgage balance and help us to hire additional staff (Connections Pastor, Youth Pastor and Supportive staff).
Sharing Goal of $325,000 – Every family or single person sowing an additional $28/week. This will allow us to accomplish the Caring Goal PLUS upgrade our platform and install much needed audio equipment.
Daring Goal of $450,000 – Every family or single person sowing an additional $39/week. This will allow us to complete the above goals PLUS install beautiful and much needed electronic outdoor signs AND finish our sanctuary floor.
God has great plans for us in the coming year. Will you pray about how you will participate in our Generations campaign? I guarantee that exciting things are ahead for you personally and for ECF as we align ourselves with God’s exceeding great and precious promises.
I am certain the Lord will direct our hearts so that a great miracle of ongoing supply will be manifest over the coming months!
Thank you for your love and generosity.
Pastor Jim Dumont
