Help Us In Reaching Our Goal

Help Us In Reaching Our Goal

Help support the work of God in our church.  As we have actively communicated recently, we are running seriously behind our budgeted expectations in giving for our current fiscal year. We are now a little over $75,000 behind our projected budget in giving.

For this reason, we ask everyone to consider what part they will play in a special over-and-above gift to close this gap by $25,000 by December 31st.  The gift we ask you to consider this month would be in addition to your regular monthly giving.

This shortfall is beginning to force us to curtail our current ministries and impacts our planning for future ministries. We have been blessed with reserves that we are drawing on to make up a portion of the shortfall.  However, if we do not make up some of the deficit soon it will mean the need to plan on a much smaller budget for our next fiscal year which starts in July.  We do not believe this is God’s plan for Journey.

As a leadership team, we continue to pray about this and believe with the following actions, we can close the $75,000 gap.

Curtail some of our planned expenses to save $25,000 in the current budget.

Plan to draw up to $25,000 from our reserves.

Receive special over and above, giving of at least $25,000.

Generosity giving campaign in 2024.

While $25,000 seems like a lot, especially in a month, as we all prayerfully consider giving something, that goal and more can be achieved. For instance, if we have even the following giving, we could surpass our goal.

  • 4 or more gifts of $2,000+
  • 8 or more gifts of $1,000+
  • 12 or more gifts of $500+
  • 25 or more gifts of $100+
  • Many gifts of $25+

We are so excited about what God is doing in and through the lives of people at Journey Church.  We are seeing the fruit of our belief that God is actively at work. From the over 400 people at Trunk or Treat to the numerical growth in the Sunday Gathering to the daily prayers for our neighbors through the Bless Every Home App we are truly on mission to ENGAGE, IMPACT, and TRANSFORM the world around us.

In Exodus 23:19, we read that we are to bring our first fruits “into the house of the Lord.”  The Bible instructs us to give first to Him, and we do that through the local church.  Giving generously to God’s work through our church is just one way we acknowledge the blessings God has given to us.  Please pray about where you fit on the giving chart above and what can be brought “into the house of the Lord” as a special over and above gift this month.

Sincerely,
Journey Church Leadership Team
