First Gift
December 3 - 31 2023
Goal: $15,000 (split equally between recipients)
Campaign Dates: November 26th – December 25th
Christmas is a time for giving gifts. At Life Church we believe that our first Christmas gift – our priority gift – should be to Jesus. That’s why we are taking up a special offering, above and beyond our normal tithes, called the “First Gift.” We will collect $15,000 to be split equally among two ministries: One local, and one global.
Ministry Name: Diaspora Pathways
Diaspora Pathways is a newer ministry that focus on offering the Hope and Love of Jesus to Persian Muslim refugees coming primarily from Afghanistan, into Greece, and then dispersing throughout Europe. Diaspora helps Refugees experience the Love of Jeus during one of the lowest points in their lives by meeting real and tangible needs, and by providing resources and relationships. Many have come to Christ, at which point, Diaspora offers discipleship, and advanced biblical training. Some have become pastors, church planters, and missionaries to their country of origin.
Ministry Name: Partners In Hope
Partners in Hope is a ministry focused on eliminating social isolation in Central Texas. They connect neighbors in need with ongoing community support through unique partnerships with local churches, other nonprofits, and servant-hearted volunteers. Through the development of long-term relationships with our isolated neighbors, they connect them with a network of people in the community who can provide the physical, emotional, and spiritual help they need.
