Last year we set our goal for the Go Fund at $850,000, and you blew us away with your generosity. To date, we have received over $975,000 to fund our ability to “go.” Based on your generous response, we have set the goal of raising $1 million for this year’s Go Fund. Through the Go Fund we intend to “Go” in three strategic ways:
GO LOCAL: Raise $312,000 to give to our 34 local community partners, empowering them to meet many needs and right many wrongs in the lives of our North Texas neighbors. These partners include organizations like Frisco & McKinney ISDs, Brothers Serving Others, The Samaritan Inn, Frisco Family Services, Hope Mommies, Refresh Frisco and many more.
GO NATIONAL: Raise $294,000 to help start new churches and empower adults and students in our church family to live out the “go” mandate by developing and funding ideas for new organizations and opportunities for student scholarships. Our church planting efforts will focus here in North Texas through the Collin County Church Planting Network, as well as across the U.S. as we continue to support existing church plants, including Redeemer Church in Wichita, Kansas and The Church We Hope For and The Hills Community Church, both located in Southern California.
GO GLOBAL: Raise $394,000 to deepen our ministry roots and involvement in the country of Nicaragua, in partnership with Compassion International and Trailhead International. With Compassion, in addition to our two child development centers/churches, we will also fund a medical/nutrition care program for 440 mothers and babies at 11 locations. Working with Trailhead International we will support their evangelistic sports ministry as well as their Rapid Food Relief program, helping provide food for those in need at 15 churches.
