Celebrating Our Gift-Giving God
Christmas reminds us of how giving our God is. For God so loved . . . He gave. At Christmas He gave us His only Son! His gift-giving is the reason why we give gifts to each other during this season. It is also the reason why we invite you every Christmas to join us in giving to initiatives that are on God’s heart. Our Christmas Gift has two types of gifts: Equipping and Building. This Advent, as we celebrate the long-anticipated arrival of Jesus as our king, we hope you will join us in celebrating His gift by giving joyfully to the causes identified here. If you have children, talk with them about these purposes. Read and pray over each one and ask God to increase your joy in Him this Christmas season as we get the chance to give to others.

Equipping
Equip Our Global Ministry Partners“D and M” and their team offer God’s gift to a largely untouched ultra-orthodox community in New York City. Your gift will supply them with ultra-modern tools like social media ads and videos for making contact and ultra-personal tools like very small retreats away from their highly scrutinized living space. It will also allow for three outside teams to come for wide seed sowing as they engage individuals on the street and in parks. $8,000 will get God’s offer out there.
After a decade of service, our Bridge Builders are home from the Middle East for a year of re-equipping and re-charging. They want to grow in their ability to articulate God’s gift and better model it as a family. Our gift of $6,000 provides the tools and experiences to make that possible. |
Help Our Global Ministry Partners Come Home
One year from now we will celebrate Peninsula Community Chapel’s 40th Anniversary with a Homecoming-themed Global Ministry Conference. PCCers from past and present will celebrate this joyous occasion together and we want all of our Global Ministry Partners to be able to join us for it in person. The work that our partners do can be hard and isolating at times. Getting to reconnect with family and friends here at PCC and having some time to encourage each other will be refreshing for them and healthy for the longevity of their ministry. The Global Ministry Team has been setting money aside over the years to help cover the travel costs for partners who will need it. $20,000 of additional funds will help us to make this wise and loving investment.

Perspectives Tuition Assistance
Perspectives on the World Christian Movement is a transformative fifteen-week course that focuses on God’s heart for the whole world and the role he wants us to play in it. Starting this January on Monday nights from 6-9PM we will bring in fifteen different instructors to teach and inspire us about God’s global mission. Through the years, over one hundred people at PCC have completed Perspectives and God has used it to mobilize us for his mission in countless ways. We believe that it is so valuable that we want to empower more people to take it by providing scholarships to local pastors from other churches and partial tuition reimbursements to those who could use them. $7,000 will enable us to expand the impact of this life-changing course.

Building
Beyond These Walls Building FundTwelve years ago, we expanded our building in order to provide needed space for a growing church and school. Through that expansion, God gave us the café, the kitchen, the gym, and the 200-hallway. God has worked in those spaces in powerful ways to help us make disciples who know His joy and change His world. Your giving will help us continue to pay down our current mortgage for that expansion. We want the amazing ministry that is happening in this facility not only to continue, but also to expand beyond these walls, into our hearts, our community, and the world. Once completed, we will be able to make capital investments in other areas.
