Welcome.
Thank you for visiting our resource and giving page. I am grateful to serve God–and you–in the call to make disciples and help those in need. The grace to do this full-time is possible because of people like you who faithfully pray, generously give, and regularly partner with us. Below you will find free resources to help you grow in the areas of personal disciple-making and spiritual gifts. Please check back regularly for new and expanded materials!
UPDATES
As Alexis and I enter a new season, we are delighted to share with you some exciting updates and opportunities:
-We welcomed our newest daughter, Eden Grace, to the family. This is our third daughter in two years!
-The Evangelism and Disciple-Making video course has been filmed and is coming soon in 2024.
-Almost 100 leaders and influencers were discipled in 2023.
-Several missionaries around the globe were supported with finances, training, and more.
-Nearly 2 dozen pastors and leaders were trained on how to help people struggling with physical and spiritual issues and trauma through prayer ministry.
-We have a great opportunity to acquire property on the west side of Columbus that will allow us to expand and increase personal ministry to those in need of care and short-term housing.
FUNDRAISING
Alexis and I are hoping to increase monthly giving by $7200 per month in order to:
-Acquire and maintain the new property.
-Allow Alexis to reduce her work hours by 25%, which would free me up to meet the increasing demands of ministry and allow her to expand her own personal ministry.
-Increase in-home help and childcare to five days a week to increase our flexibility.
-Meet the growing increase of expenses.
BREAKDOWN:
$1700/mo for the property
$1200/mo to offset Alexis’ pay
$2300/mo childcare
$1800/mo for expenses
Total: $7200/mo
Thank you for any financial gift you give today. Many people find it helpful to think and pray about how much to give in terms of a percentage of the goal—for example, 3% is $216 per month—and you may also find it helpful as you consider how much to give.
Reoccurring monthly support is often most helpful in maintaining personal and ministry needs, but we appreciate every gift given. No matter the amount, your support allows us to continue reaching the lost, serve the church, help those in need, and make disciples. Thank you again for your generous and faithful support.
Note: In order to make sure you receive a tax receipt at the end of the year, the system will have you create a personal account. If you do not need a receipt and prefer not to set up an account, you may give directly via CashApp, Venmo, or Zelle. Venmo and Zelle will allow you to set up monthly/automatic payments. If you choose to give through this page, you will be giving the option to cover the 6% transaction/ processing fee that we pay. While is not mandatory to cover the fee, it is extremely helpful.
