To BP Church Partners
As a church we have had the privilege to be involved with something amazing God has been doing in our ministry. In the last 7 years we have seen God bring around 600 new people be part of our congregation. It is exciting to see people discovering God’s plan for their life. As a church when we see God doing something in our midst we have a responsibility to steward what He is doing.
In November 2018 we started a capital campaign called Advancing The Kingdom (ATK) to raise 6.4 million to buy land for our future so we could continue to steward the activity of God in our church. Our first goal is to raise $3,000,000.00. in three years. That is an aggressive goal but as we work together I believe is attainable. Since we have started we have raised $409,600.00. This has been a good start.
As we finish this year you will hear us talk about this a little more. We want to tell some of the stories of how God has been providing for people to fulfill their pledge. Some made a pledge based on faith that God would provide, and He has. We also want to let people that have come to our church over the last year, have the opportunity to partner with us in what God is doing.
We have sold our east campus for $2,350,000.00. After realtor, lawyer and other expenses we will have have about $2,250,000. that will be put into savings to gain interest until it is needed to close on the land.
I want to thank you for your sacrifice that you have been making to Advance The Kingdom of God. As we continue to be good stewards of everything God has put in our lives He will continue to increase the things He entrusts us with.
Here are some prayer points:
We would continue to reach new people with the Gospel
God would give us wisdom to steward what He has given us
That God would continue to provide for people to fulfill their pledge
New People in our congregation would catch the vision for ATK
Matthew 25:23 (NIV)
23 “His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master’s happiness!’
Be Blessed,
