The Joy Campaign

With Joy...


"With joy you will draw water from the wells of salvation." Isaiah 12:3
 

With joy, we thank God that for twenty-seven years, Living Water has drawn from God’s wells of salvation.

With joy, we remember the twenty-two years of gospel ministry that our building has facilitated.

With joy, we plan for future gospel ministry at Living Water.

With joy, we praise God for both the spiritual and physical blessings he has given to us individually.

With joy, we ponder God’s promise that his spiritual and physical blessings won’t run dry.

With joy, we pray to God as we evaluate if we might increase individual giving to support facility upgrades through The Joy Campaign.

    • Please read through the letter and booklet of information prepared
    • Please ask committee members follow up questions you may have
    • Please prayerfully consider your gift to The Joy Campaign as you pray the campaign prayer, reflect on the blessings God has bestowed upon you, and then, as the Lord so moves you, respond as a faithful and joyful steward.
    • Consider these questions and opportunity joyfully, not reluctantly or under compulsion. Whenever you as an individual and we as a congregation make decisions - including financial ones - God wants us to make decisions with Spirit-worked joy that thanks God for past blessings, is confident in God’s promises, and is eager to serve God’s Church

Dearest Jesus, you became poor so that we might become rich. In addition to forgiveness and eternal life, you have given us blessings far too numerous to count. So inspire us by your generosity that we devote all we have and all we are to the glory of your name and the well-being of souls. Help us learn the joy of giving, the value of faithful labor, and the satisfaction of time well spent. Replace our fear and selfishness with the confidence that you will provide everything we need for doing good and will do immeasurably more than all we can ask or imagine. Amen.
