JESUS' BIRTHDAY OFFERING

Every Christmas season, we come together as a church family to celebrate what God has done over the past year and to dream together of what God can do in the coming year as we share the love and message of Jesus. Below you will find a list of projects that we have chosen to give to as a church. Through Jesus’ Birthday Offering, every dollar given on the Sunday before Christmas Eve and all of our Christmas Eve experiences will be donated to these organizations and make a difference for those in need. While gifts opened on Christmas offer a moment of joy, your greatest gift can offer a joy that is eternal.

CURRENT PROJECTS

Chosen - Foster and Adoption

Right in our backyard there are thousands of children and families living in crisis. Chosen is continuing to walk alongside families as they open their lives up to the children in need of a home. This year we are committed to making strides to eliminating the list of kids waiting to be fostered or adopted, with a goal of 100 new families saying yes to being a part of the solution.

World Compassion – Bible Smuggling

In places like Iran, the underground church is in desperate need of the Word of God. We have helped put Bibles in the hands of 41,000+ people over the last twelve months, bringing the total number of Bibles moved into Iran to over 206,000! Our goal for 2024 is to move an additional 100,000 Bibles into the nation of Iran.

World Compassion – Refugee Relief

In Iraq, we have helped over 200 women complete a sewing and salon skills training program, effectively creating a livelihood for their families. Additionally, 3,833 families received basic medical care, The Gospel message and an opportunity for prayer through World Compassion’s newly launched medical missions ministry. In 2024, we hope to support 500 women and be a part of them adding a welding program to equip the men as well.

Mission of Hope - Haiti Nutrition

Last year, VFC came together to pack over 100,000 meals for students across the country of Haiti, and this year we are going to do more. Over 7.3 million of the 11 million people in Haiti do not know where their next meal will come from. Mission of Hope uses these meals to reach the physical needs of students, but also ensure the kids are having repeated opportunities to see, hear and respond to the Gospel.

Hope Is Alive & WIN Foundation – Addiction & Recovery

We are excited to continue to partner with these two wonderful organizations. When addiction grips lives, it not only impacts the individual but the family as well. Both of these great partners reach people when they have often hit rock bottom, and we continue to celebrate how the Gospel is playing a major role in seeing hundreds of lives restored!

SunHive Collective - Young Adult Special Needs Support

SunHive creates a safe and inviting space for young adults with disabilities to grow in their daily living, social and transitional skills. Each person’s individual and unique abilities are cultivated and fostered through organic, hands-on experiences that help them thrive, while building meaningful relationships within the community.

Missionary Alliance - Missionary Support

Missionary Allies helps alleviate the burden of fundraising that missionaries experience. Through mental and spiritual mentorship, business training, and financial support, they equip missionaries to pursue their purpose and spread the Gospel with passion. Resources provided may include living expeneses, building supplies, and even transportation needs.

Onthatile - Children's Village & Adoption Services

Onthatile Children’s Ministries, located in Johannesburg, South Africa, is a non-profit organization that rescues at-risk and abandoned children. Onthatile provides a safe haven for children until they can be placed in a forever home, through adoption or long-term foster care. Their goal is to provide a safe and nurturing environment for the babies placed in their care.
