Kingdom Builder Foundation Seminary Matching Grant

As a church we have an amazing opportunity to support present and future students who are being called by God to serve in mission and ministry. One of the great challenges for people seeking to serve in ministry is the barrier of finances. The Kingdom Builder Foundation Seminarian Fund has set a goal to raise $300,000 by the end of summer 2012. Matching gift challenge grant commitment: $100,000.

Gifts and commitments to date: $120,000
Gifts still required to "unlock" the matching gift challenge grant: $80,000

After the Seminarian Fund is fully funded, it will provide grant opportunities for $15,000 annually for Seminary students. If you would like to contribute to this opportunity, please write checks to "KBF" earmarked for Seminarian Fund or include your gift in an envelope and write Kingdom Builder Foundation Seminarian Fund on the outside.

For more information, please contact Mike Stansbury at offthewall123@cox.net or John Steel at gosurfsong@cox.net.

Thank you to the 25-30 people who have been purchasing bouquets each week! Now we are able to start thinking about where the first funds can be applied. One immediate opportunity is to provide scholarships of $100 for the members of the Hispanic Fellowship that are going to "Come Build Hope" this May. We anticipate that will be 15 people. We are looking forward to how powerfully God will use us that weekend and so grateful for the financial opportunity to go.Thank you!

Flowers For HIM is now open every Sunday after each service making it convenient to get into the flower habit as a part of worshiping God. All profit goes to spreading God's Kingdom thru our church body. We are located on the patio outside the sanctuary.

If you have questions or suggestions please email Carolyn.
