This year The Well, the church I serve with, past a major mile stone. We moved into our first building. It has been a tremendous blessing, and we have grown considerably in the short time we have been there, but it is an older building and very run down. We knew we would have to update the building from the beginning and even made provisions in our lease…and here is where I need your help. The renovations are going to cost around $230,000. That’s right 230K! Our congregation has already pledged a little over $100,000 and we still have pledges coming in. In addition to asking our community to give we decided to do a raffle to help raise money for this event. The prizes are ridiculous! First prize get $5,000, second gets an iPad 2, and third gets a $500 gift card. But don’t do it for the prizes, although they are awesome. Do it either because you want to help build God’s kingdom and see the impact of our Faith Community grow, or so I can beat Andy!
Andy is a Google Sales “Big-Wig” who has headed up our Build a BetterWell capital campaign and is apparently more connected than Kevin Bacon! This guy has already sold 117 tickets and is riding me like crazy. This is a David and Goliath story; the little shepherd boy (me) taking on the fierce giant (Google Sales Big-Wig Andy) in a grudge match for the ages.
The tickets are $25 a piece, make any checks out to The Well and I will hold your tickets for you in your name or send them to you if you prefer. You can also make a direct donation if you feel led, or make a pledge that would need to be paid sometime between now and the January 31, 2012.
I am confident God is going to do some amazing things through The Well and in these facilities that He has given us for now. We want to do everything we can to remove any of the hinderances that people might have to coming and experiencing God for themselves in this place, and to maximize and be good stewards of the space. I invite you to partner with me and The Well faith community as we seek to live up to the full measure of who God has ask us to be…………and…………,
For all the little guys who are tired of mega mogul giants pushing us around, now is your chance to rally for the sake of God’s kingdom……and, so I can beat Andy!
