Dear Church Family,
God is at work in a mighty
way here at E-Free in ways that can only be explained as a movement of God. After
we announced the Ingathering Offering Project for our Nursery Expansion, I was
approached by some donors whose hearts were really stirred and who wanted to
encourage us to raise the entire $450,000 cost of
the project at once rather than spreading it out as we had planned. These donors felt led by the Lord to make
available a $150,000.00 matching gift opportunity to help us accomplish this
goal. Here is how it works.
Between now and the end of the year (December 31,
2013), any gift given or pledged toward this nursery expansion
project will be matched 2 to 1 up to $150,000.00. That means that for every $2 that
is given or pledged by the end of the year, $1 will be added to that from this
matching gift fund. Think of it this
way:
·
A $10.00 gift/pledge
becomes $15.00!
·
A $20.00 gift/pledge
becomes $30.00!
·
A $50.00 gift/pledge
becomes $75.00!
·
A $100.00 gift/pledge
becomes $150.00!
·
A $250.00 gift/pledge
becomes $375.00!
·
A $500.00 gift/pledge
becomes $750.00!
·
A $1,000.00
gift/pledge becomes $1,500.00!
·
A $2,500.00 gift/pledge
becomes $3,750.00!
·
A $5,000.00 gift/pledge
becomes $7,500.00!
·
A $10,000.00 gift/pledge
becomes $15,000.00!
To receive these matching monies
all gifts/pledges to this project must be made by December 31, 2013 and all pledges must be fulfilled by April 1, 2014. Please also keep in mind that this $150,000.00 matching gift is only guaranteed up to the amount
that is raised in gifts/pledges. To
secure the entire $150,000.00 we
would need to raise $300,000.00 in cash/pledges by December 31 (with pledges being fulfilled by April 1, 2014).
I am so very thankful for
what God is doing and how He is using these donors who have made this matching
gift opportunity possible to further “stimulate us as a church to love and good
deeds” (Hebrews 10:25). Through
their generosity, it allows each of us to be able to play an even bigger part
because our gift, no matter how small or how large, is multiplied by 50%.
If you would like
to make a gift or pledge toward this project you can do so in our special Ingathering offering which will happen on November 24 or any other time between now and the end of the year. Again, please keep in mind that gifts and/or
pledges must be received by December 31, 2013 and
pledges must be fulfilled by April 1, 2014.
Thank you for taking the time to fervently pray about the part that God
would have you play as together we strive to meet as many people as possible where
they are and move them to where He wants them to be!
Believing God for Great
Things!
