Yielding to the benevolent purposes of God prepares us for
the yoke of kind, gentle, patient service to others. - John S. Mogabgab, Alive Now
For not only do people need food, but they need also the touch of a hand, the sound of a voice. For food lasts but a day, but love is for always. - Mother Teresa | Thank you to all who have come together to support GraceWorks Community in our first year. We could not have gotten this far without you! Challenge Gifts Double Your Impact!Fundraising efforts over the past year have brought in approximately $60,000 to support GraceWorks Community - no small accomplishment in our first year! We are deeply grateful to all who have helped us get this far. However, we still need an additional $30,000 to finish this program year (through August 10, 2007), above and beyond pledges received through February 1. Learning of our situation, two donors have come forward to offer a challenge : all gifts that come in between now (February 16) and May 1, 2007, up to $7,500, will be matched to raise a total of $15,000. That means that thanks to these generous donors, your gift counts for twice as much, and will get us halfway to our goal. Learn more about how to donate. Or, if you would like to propel us even farther toward our goal by extending the challenge, contact Kerry Greenhill at 800-536-3736 x153, or by email. We want you to know, brothers and sisters, about the grace of God that has been granted to the churches of Macedonia; for during a severe ordeal of affliction, their abundant joy and their extreme poverty have overflowed in a wealth of generosity on their part. For, as I can testify, they voluntarily gave according to their means, and even beyond their means, begging us earnestly for the privilege of sharing in this ministry to the saints.- 2 Corinthians 8:1-4 GrantsDivision on Ministries with Young People, 2006: $5,000; 2007: $6,000 Valparaiso Project for the
