FIRST PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH OF HONOLULU | JULY 2016
A Special Edition OF THE FIRST PRESS NEWSLETTER A NOTE FROM PASTOR DAN CHUN In June you received a letter from me informing you about the ACTS 1:8 APPEAL
THE ACTS 1:8 CAPITAL APPEAL
A capital appeal is a call to raise a specified sum of money within a short period of time, specifically a year in our case. For example, the John 3:16 Appeal we had in 2014, which allowed us to leave our former denomination with title to our property, raised $405,000 in less than sixty days. This year we’re aiming to raise $1.8 million in one year to eliminate our remaining church debt, expand parking, and position ourselves for the next decade of ministering
that we’re launching August 2016. The ACTS 1:8 APPEAL is a call for prayerful sacrificial giving beyond tithes and offerings. I had mentioned that more information will be sent to you, and so here’s a special edition of our church newsletter. It has the basic information you need about the ACTS 1:8 APPEAL. Thanks for taking a moment to read this through. God bless you!
locally and beyond. The success of this Appeal is vital to that continued and expanding mission. Eliminating the debt means freeing up thousands of dollars every year for ministry that would otherwise be paid to service the debt. We want to follow what Jesus told His disciples in Acts 1:8: “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” After all the training we’ve had on campus, we now need to go out beyond our campus and reach more people for Jesus Christ.
