Giving
The act of giving changes us, making us more like our generous Creator. God is the ultimate giver who gave the most precious gift, His son Jesus, to die on the cross for our sins. We are passionate about sharing this message with our communities and with the next generation. Your giving helps transform lives and helps make a difference!

Heart of Downtown
April Food Co-op Needs: We are so thankful for all the support of so many people for our food co-op. For the month of April we are looking to add to the pick 7 table. We are asking for cookies, crackers, condiments and baking supplies. All donations can be brought to the bins outside of the office during the week or on Sunday mornings. Thank you so much for all your support!
Costume & Clothing CollectionThis ministry seeks to provide new and/or gently used clothing & children’s costumes to support “Radiant Futures” – a local shelter- as well as the Heart of Downtown. You may be asking yourself why children’s costumes, in addition to men, women, and children’s clothing, are being solicited. Children love playing dress-up and costumes are used for imaginative play. Dress-up encourages creative thinking, boosts social skills, and assists in language development. We thank you for your support. Matthew 25:35-40 |

God is doing amazing things at the church we helped plant in Colombia. The building is currently under construction but that hasn’t stopped the believers there. The church is making a difference in the community and meeting under a tree to worship and have service. Please continue to pray for Colombia as their COVID numbers have increased recently.
