Dear Innovation,  

This Christmas season, we are excited to invite you to be part of something truly special! As we look ahead to 2025, we are launching a Christmas Offering that will help BOOST us into the new year and beyond. This offering is aimed at three key areas of growth and impact:  

1. Expanding Our Classroom for the Next Generation: As we continue to invest in the future, we want to ensure that we have the space and resources to teach and inspire the next generation of leaders. We believe in the power of shaping young hearts and minds for Christ. Proverbs 22:6 reminds us, “Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it.”*And Deuteronomy 6:6-7 encourages us, “These words that I am commanding you today are to be on your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.” By expanding our classroom, we’re making a lasting investment in the future of our children and helping them grow in faith and knowledge.  

2. Doubling Our Benevolence Fund: Last year, we were able to help so many families in need, and we are determined to do even more this year. Our goal is to raise funds that will double the amount we gave away, enabling us to reach more people with love and support.  

3. Rescuing Children through Destiny Rescue: With our ongoing partnership with Destiny Rescue, we have the opportunity to rescue children from trafficking and exploitation. This is a cause that’s close to our hearts, and we would love to see as many children as possible set free. Psalm 71:4 says, “Rescue me, O my God, from the hand of the wicked, from the grasp of the unjust and cruel man. For you, O Lord, are my hope, my trust, O Lord, from my youth.” We believe this scripture speaks to the heart of the work Destiny Rescue is doing—rescuing those caught in the grip of wickedness and restoring hope to their lives.  

Our Goal for This Year  
We are aiming to raise $18,000 to complete the work on our buildings and get them ready for the next season of ministry. Additionally, we are setting aside $3,000 to jump-start our Benevolence Fund or 2025, ensuring we can continue to serve those in need. Finally, it costs $1300 per child to rescue a child with Destiny Rescue and bring hope to their lives.  

As we give this Christmas, we are believing that God will open the floodgates of blessing, not only for those who receive through our efforts, but also for us as a church and community. By responding to God’s call to give generously, we know that His provision will exceed all expectations.  

We plan to split this offering three ways to support these critical areas of growth:  
- $18,000 for the building expansion  
- $3,000 for the Benevolence Fund  
- $1,300 per Child for Destiny Rescue  (We would love to sponse 3 to 5 children this year) 

We are believing God for great things as we head into the new year, and we know that with your help, we can make an even bigger difference in our community and the world.  

Thank you for your continued generosity and support. Together, we can make this Christmas season one of lasting impact both in our local community and beyond!  

In Christ,
