let me boast a little on my church again. this Christmas we took up a "Christmas Offering," with the aim of making Christ and His purposes for the world our goal for the season. so, the plan was that we would try to give enough money to:
1) Support international church planters that will be leaving from our church over the next two years -approx cost $120,000
2) Build a Habitat for Humanity home in Durham -approx cost $40,000
3) Support 4 new North American church planters- $40,000
Totaling: $200,000
Notice the goal of the offering was not for our own church expenses and budget. so, after the season is over and the offering has been received, the total amount given is $202,000. awesome! i love my church and our pastor. you should check out his blog post today about the offering and the gospel at http://jdgreear.com/
