Join the VV1 Anchor Campaign
This Sunday, October 6th, we kick off the last leg, the anchor leg, of the VV1 campaign!
We are so thankful for how the Lord has provided and for your faith, generosity, and prayers in this great work. But with the finish line in sight, we don’t want to let up. Like the anchor leg of a race, we want to finish strong to the end.
So we are challenging the church to:
- Believe to the finish. Let us all continue to look to the Lord in this moment. Now is not the time to get distracted or to worry. Now is not the time to rest on our laurels or to put our faith in a new building. Instead, let’s keep our eyes on our sure and strong hope, our Savior and Lord, Jesus. He is our anchor. So let us “run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith…” (Hebrews 12:1-2).
- Pray to the finish. For this final leg, we want to pray like never before. We want to pray fervently and specifically and continuously. We cannot overstate how important this is. To that end, we invite everyone to sign up for a day to stop by the site and pray for our church… everything about it. (We will have specific prayer requests for you as well.) We hope to have someone stop by the site to pray every day to the finish, starting October 6th through the end of December.
- Give to the finish. We’d love to make a final push to give towards closing the gap in the miracle million and beyond! You have given so generously, and we are so close to that million dollar goal. (We’re at about $895,000 right now). Plus, whatever we can give now will lower future monthly expenses and create new opportunities. So please pray about and consider giving toward the Anchor Campaign, which begins October 6th.
So we invite you to participate in the Anchor Campaign, the final leg of our VV1 Campaign, beginning October 6th: FIND OUT MORE.
