In November's Creative Leader newsletter, we shared a bold goal we were striving for at Fellowship Church: a church-wide cash gift of $5 million in the month of December. Ed presented this challenge during the Off the Chain series and with a campaign called, The Gift , which would be invested in our campuses, completing our camp and contributing to an effort by Fellowship of Maceio in Brazil to eliminate hunger and homelessness in two cardboard cities.
Ed shared the exciting results of the campaign during a recent weekend service. We stood and cheered as a ticker on the screen climbed upward, paused at the $5 million mark, and kept right on going. Once again, the people of Fellowship Church rose to the challenge with their faithfulness as they responded to God's leading and contributed not $5 million, but a cash gift of $6.7 million in one month! We can't wait to see how God uses these gifts to impact this generation and the next!
Celebrating with you in a victory that will no doubt change the face of our world. Thank you for winning for the kingdom.
