Every year we ask our community to go above and beyond their regular giving so collectively we can be generous and bless others.
While we continue to focus on Here & Near initiatives through the coming year, ALL resources from this year's Christmas Offering will fund four overseas partnerships (Far).
We would love it if you'd consider giving a little extra this year with us. Thanks in advance for taking the idea of helping people find and follow Jesus so personally!

This Year's Organizations:
Shepherd's Little Lambs
Shepherd's Little Lambs exists to nourish and nurture children, made vulnerable by poverty and HIV/AIDS. SLL provides food, school fees, uniforms and basic medical care to the poorest of the poor in Kenya. For pre-school age children, they provide a nurturing environment during the week to better prepare them for entering the public school system. Our hope is to partner with them in the support of their good work.
Paradise FOundation
The goal of the Paradise Foundation is to come alongside as many hardworking, intelligent local people to help them as they carve a new path for the future of their children. PF connects nonprofits in the US to communities in need in Central America. Their first partnership with Paraíso Church in El Marañon, Honduras is an opportunity to invest in the next generation through meals, hygiene training, a community center, and a tech school.
Hosea's Heart
Hosea's Heart in Eswatini, Africa is a safe house for young women who are at risk of sex-trafficking, or are recovering as victims of sex trafficking. At HH, these young women are given opportunities to receive education, learn practical life skills, find safe & supportive sisterhood, and ultimately gain their dignity back. All coursework and curriculum emphasizes the goodness of Jesus, and we hope to fund their mission as they make space for EIGHT MORE young women to experience life change in Jesus' name.
One Collective
One Collective is a global non-profit that brings people together around the ways of Jesus to create lasting change in our world today. Our friend Kayla Emmerling currently serves with OC for her mission work in Costa Rica. As she continues to forge deep relationships with locals, spearheads community events, and disciples new Jesus-followers, we hope to empower and fuel this good work in Central America.
