Let’s reach the many young people who now want to know more about Jesus. Here are some options, as you prayerfully consider what God wants you to do with your gifts of support.
Hope Children's Home Receives $10,000 Donation from Mormon CommunityHope Children's Home
A Christian nonprofit organization based in northwest Tampa, Florida, Hope Children's Home (hopechildrenshome.org) serves the educational and spiritual needs of children who come from a background of neglect and abuse. With the mission of helping children in desperate situations, Hope Children's Home was gratified to receive a donation of $10,000 in May 2020 from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (LDS).
This gift was bestowed by the president of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints' Brandon, Florida, stake, which had the task of identifying an organization that had been impacted by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and could use an infusion of capital to continue its inspiring work. Due to the economic fallout of the pandemic, the donation was greatly appreciated.
As the LDS leader described it, Hope has the mission of transforming lives in positive ways, as well as a broader social mandate that makes it a worthy recipient. Presented with this sizable contribution, the organization’s executive director, Dr. Mike Higgins, placed thanks in God’s miracles for ensuring that faith and good deeds are rewarded. He noted that his organization does not accept funds from state or federal agencies, which makes private contributions all the more meaningful.

The role of annual giving professions has evolved over the past several years from serving as mailing and phone bank organizers to becoming "mini" major gifts' professions, responsible for face-to-face solicitations with donors and working in collaboration with comprehensive capital campaign executives.
A leadership annual giving program with baseline gifts of a significant level has become an important component of the annual fund at many colleges. Their success hinges on four fundamentals: energetic and frequent community outreach, appropriate donor recognition throughout the year, assiduous donor contact and coordinated solicitation. A holistic approach to solicitation, working in cooperation with the other fund-raising officers of the college in their individualized campaigns, is key, as is internal communications.
In this presentation, annual gift professionals will receive an overview of these new realities. Agostinelli will outline the components of a successful leadership annual giving program while addressing some of the challenges that Carroll's program has met and overcome. The session will end with a discussion of how a leadership annual giving program enhances a comprehensive capital campaign, which Carroll College has currently underway with a $30 million goal.

A short presentation about the mission of the Wesley Foundation of Macon, including a look at why campus ministry is essential for the future of the United Methodist Church.
Turn up your praise ministry helps people to connect with god and convey their prayers. Since God created us, he knows how we work, he knows what’s best for us. We put emphasis on sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ with people so that they can come to his sanctity and take him as their savior and Lord of their life.
Offertory Moments Every Number Has A Story EnvBen Stroup
These statements are designed to assist the pastor or church leader in demonstrating the measurable acts of ministry associated with the Cooperative Program.
We can learn from science that joy activates the brain’s relational circuits in the middle of our identity center. Joy enables us to respond to the God who is with us and for us. God’s initiating love allows us to receive his grace with appreciation and joy, generating a joyful identity. The brain’s joy center – the right orbital prefrontal cortex – is the only section of brain which never loses its capacity to grow – so our “joy strength” can continue to expand through life.
Because Cory didn’t grow up with joy being a part of his life, he found that the interactive gratitude exercise from Jim Wilder, Anna Kang, John Loppnow, and Sungshim Loppnow’s book, Joyful Journey, was helpful in processing his internal dialogue of negative thoughts so he could experience joy from God. It allowed him to write a letter to God with a response back from Him. Cory never received validation from his earthly father. Receiving re-parenting and validation from God, Cory said, allowed him to avoid emotionally dumping on people.
After the gratitude exercise, six additional steps are included in Immanuel Journaling (described below), where we write down our impression of what God is thinking and saying to us (everything we write down being filtered through Scripture and our knowledge of God’s character).
Immanuel Journaling Steps:
1. Gratitude. Write anything you appreciate and then write God’s response to your gratitude:
“Dear God, I’m thankful for…” and “Dear child of mine…”
2. I can see you.
Write from God’s perspective what He observes in you right now, including your physical sensations.
3. I can hear you.
Write from God’s perspectives what He hears you saying to yourself.
4. I understand how big this is for you.
How does God see your dreams, blessings or upsets and troubles?
5. I am glad to be with you and treat your weakness tenderly.
How does God express His desire to participate with your life?
6. I can do something about what you are going through.
What does God give you for this time?
7. Read what you have written aloud (preferably to someone else)
Most of us have experienced rejection, shame, and blame while growing up. Cory experienced more of these things than anyone I’ve ever known.
Because Cory didn’t grow up with joy being a part of his life, he found that the interactive gratitude exercise from Jim Wilder, Anna Kang, John Loppnow, and Sungshim Loppnow’s book, Joyful Journey, was helpful in processing his internal dialogue of negative thoughts so he could experience joy from God through “Immanuel Journaling.”
Cory noted that his Immanuel Journaling has been enhanced by the “seven soul care principles” from Dr. Rob Reimer’s book, Soul Care: 7 Transformational Principles for a Healthy Soul.
He participates in the weekly soul care men’s group that I co-lead.
We cultivate these seven principles: identity, repentance, overcoming family sin patterns, forgiveness, healing wounds, overcoming fears, and deliverance.

Sync Partnership with Clayton One-PagerMark Pomeroy
Description of partnership between Sync with God and Clayton protecting peoples' privacy and data as an alternative to Google, Facebook, etc. Very important in countries where there's persecution
Thank you for considering Sync with God’s potential impact and how you and other concerned Christians can bridge the culture gap for the purpose of sharing Jesus Christ. Wherever there is access to the internet, you can meet in virtual small groups with those you are mentoring to share your lives, your spiritual journeys and study the Bible using Sync’s discipleship framework.
For years, my colleagues and I shared Christ face-to-face with significant results! As society became more Post-Christian, things changed. Encounters with young people became more detached and awkward. The Sync team learned from Barna and other sources that most U.S. churches were struggling to bridge the generation gap and connect with young people! This breakdown in effective church outreach was confirmed when Pew Research reported only 20% of Millennials or Gen Zers identify themselves as Christians, and 34% identify as atheists. This is reason enough to be concerned, but researchers are documenting an epidemic in loneliness that is putting these young people at risk of addiction, exploitation and economic marginalization.
Mentorless, Fatherless Generation
Jim, a faithful elder, sees most young people bypassing the church. Older people with experience seem bored and apathetic in their relationship with Christ. Great young leaders most often have a foundation of great mentoring by Bible believing Christians.
The longer we go without taking discipleship seriously, the wider the chasm between our generations will become. (Grant Skeldon, The Passion Generation: The Seemingly Reckless, Definitely Disruptive, But Far from Hopeless Millennials)
Sync with God is designed to address this problem: http://bit.ly/syncdemo2
• A highly versatile web APP hosts on-demand, virtual small groups, globally
• Designed to connect young seekers in the faith and Bible-trained mentors
• Offers a safe, engaging interface for Millennials/Gen. Z adaptable to technical
advances well into the future
This tool will help Christians connect with one another across the world. The concept to help believers grow in their faith through this new technology is unprecedented. Churches, small group leaders, missionaries, youth ministries, college ministries and other faith-based organizations should use this product for discipleship efforts. Our small group used this technology through video conferencing, chat groups, personal journaling, lesson plans and video uploads. This tool will make a huge impact to further Gods work across the globe.

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.
