POST HURRICANE UPDATE: Thank you for your support. We have been blessed beyond measure by many working hands in clearing up downed and hanging trees. While we continue our recovery, our financial loss has been significant. Our target is $60,000 to keep us moving forward as we work to bring Glory to God.
Please consider making a donation. God is faithful and we trust Him.
With weekend & weekday groups rescheduling their events from Hurricanes Helene & Milton, we have lost nearly $60,000 for the month. You can donate through the Paypal link on our webpage, but to save admin costs, directly sending checks and gifts would be appreciated. Damage costs are still being estimated. Because our insurers refuse to cover us for hurricane damages here in Florida, we will need funds to cover these damages. We know God will supply, as HE has and will do, everytime. This is our history, past, present and future with HIM, as we seek HIS kingdom and exist to tell the GOOD NEWS through Jesus Christ.
Your patience is greatly appreciated as we have had little access to the outside world of electric, cell service and roads to town blocked by trees and downed power lines.
