We realize this prayer guide has left many of you in suspense. After all the requests we posted leading up to our dinner you probably expected to hear about the financial outcome of the evening. And now, at last, we're happy to give you that report.
At the end of the night, 115 individuals had made first-time financial gifts. These included college students, retirees, local families, members of our own church, friends from other churches, well-established professionals, recently unemployed professionals and just-getting-started young adults. Many of our longstanding supporters also made significant gifts or pledges.
Rejoice with us that God is raising up a team of neighborhood-builders! And pray that God will weave together each of our gifts, knowledge, resources, connections and creativity to make lasting changes in this place.
