Funding Appeal – Support our Youth Ministry – We are nearly there!
A big thank you to the 24 families/individuals who have already contributed to the Youth Minister Appeal — your generosity is deeply appreciated! If you haven’t had a chance to give yet, we encourage you to consider doing so this week, especially if you’re a parent of a youth or care about the next generation growing in faith. Every gift, big or small, makes a real difference in helping us invest in our young people. We are going beyond our original target so we can help Ben towards his Visa Application.
We are aiming to raise $55,000 to sustain this important ministry. We now have $52,170 already pledged/donated.
