...to reach others in our communities and around the world with the very good news of the Gospel.
We each make up a part of the Village Bible Church family - a family that God has created.
He is using us to encourage and sharpen each other as we strive to serve Him with our lives. He is also using us to reach others in our communities and around the world with the very good news of the Gospel.
We are grateful for God’s financial provisions that have sustained our ministries and trust Him to provide for the new initiatives He has placed before us.
This year, we have broken the cost for new initiatives into three groupings, hoping to tackle them one by one as contributions support their costs. The first goal is to extend our support for existing missionaries and to send some new ones out into the field.
(Click on their pictures to learn more about the Nickles and Reesers who are heading out in Apri!!!) We’re deferring the other two sets of initiatives until contributions grow closer to meeting those needs.
Here’s where we’re at as of the end of March:
Baseline Financial Needs + Missions Commitments = $76,000 per month
Giving through March 2010: = $70,000 per month
Year-To-Date Shortage: $19,500 ($6,500/month)
2010 Initiatives: This year we have split our growth initiatives into groups - hoping to accomplish them all in 2010, but striving to tackle them one at a time. In order to meet the financial components of these initiatives, our monthly offerings need to grow as follows:
Initiatives Deferred until contributions increase:
2010 Ministry Initiatives: + $2,500 per month (Deferred)
2010 Staff Initiatives: + $3,500 per month (Deferred)
