Overflow Results!

Category: Freedom Church

Last night was the Overflow gift offering.

We fasted, prayed, talked to other pastors, etc., and decided to set the goal at $15,000 to help with the $39,000 worth of equipment we had to order. $15,000 for a church that hasn’t even started yet was a God-sized goal to say the least. Several people told me that I was insane and that if we got anywhere near that number that it would be a miracle!

I felt confident that if everyone on our launch team gave sacrificially we could meet the goal that God had placed on our heart. I have communicated repeatedly that we want to live in the realm of the unexplainable…meaning that I want God to be the only answer for what is happening at FC. Last night that happend… After it was all said and done, the launch team of FC had given $20,435.90! That’s insane! I was speechless at that display of generosity! God is doing some great things in the lives of our people - I can’t wait to see what He has in store!

    JR, this is so awesome! I know God has some exciting things in the works. What a privilege for you and Todd to be used so greatly for His kingdom.

    My in-law’s gave us a check just now as a Christmas gift. It was the exact ammount that we gave in Overflow. We hadn’t shared with them the ammount we gave, FREAK OUT! Thank the lord.
