Ministry success can never be whittled down to one key factor. Every ministry that is growing in breadth, impact, and effectiveness has committed to excellence in everything they do.

We are ripe for breaking into some unknown territory, experiencing new and fresh God-things, and seeing us become effective in ways we have never been before!

Our worship center is about $70,000 from being what it was originally intended to be as far as functionality, sound, ambiance, lighting…all those things that will make our worship center truly be a place of excellence. In our culture today, where media is presented in high definition, we dishonor God and decrease our effectiveness by having anything less than a highest quality in our worship center. We must keep in step with the day and culture we live in.

Our new Extreme Kids space below will be completed in a matter of weeks, but funds are still needed to furnish the tools we need to make this place functional.

Lil’ Kids is bursting at the seams! We had right at 150 children between newborns and kindergarten in that department this past Sunday. We have essentially run out of space. As soon as we can get the grade school children into their new space, we need to renovate some rooms down the hall from our offices to house more of the bee-boppers. It takes money.

We have adult education rooms on the upper level that desperately need to be completed in order to be completely effective in our educational initiatives. We also have a good chance to host a BGC National School of Leadership, School of Women’s Ministry, and maybe even Christian-college distance education courses on site, but are challenged to have this space finished in order to do these things. This would take another $80,000.

We can do all of these things now!

What would happen if every family at Edinbrook gave $500 from their tax rebates and gave to grow our impact and effectiveness at Edinbrook? That would amount to $200,000! We already have a matching gift of up to $50,000, so that would bring our total to $250,000! And no-one would even “suffer” in the process of giving it. It is an unexpected windfall. What an impact this would make to help us move forward in this call to reach people for Jesus!

On May 18, our last Sunday of Salt and Light, we will also celebrate our first year of Breakout. On this day, we will also receive an extra offering to help us break through some barriers in our call to Breakout. Pray about what you can do. Choose to be generous. We’re on the verge of great things. This is what it takes to see effective ministry happen. It will take all of us to make it possible.

IMPORTANT BULLETIN:
 We are right at $20,000 behind in support of our missionaries right now. Not good. We must fulfill our obligation to support them as we have committed to do so. Let’s take care of that ASAP.

“Now He who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food, will supply and multiply your seed for sowing and increase the harvest of your righteousness; you will be enriched in everything for all liberality, which through us is producing thanksgiving to God.”
