CREATING THE WAVE OF GENEROSITY

While we have been tithing and giving to Kingdom Builders throughout the year, we focus in during the fourth quarter of the year to continue pressing toward our annual goal. Starting at the end of October through year-end, there are four key phases that create the year-end wave of generosity.

Kingdom Builders Banquet

Our Kingdom Builders Banquet is a special event typically held toward the end of October. We invite several hundred guests to a semi-formal banquet with the purpose of communicating the heart of Kingdom Builders. The flow of the evening begins with dinner and then we open with worship. We always bring in a special missionary guest who shares their story. It is important to invite boots on the ground front-line missionaries, not organizational leaders. The missionaries provide powerful testimonies and are a physical representation of what a global heart looks like. The Kingdom Builders Banquet starts the wave of generosity leading up to our Miracle Offering weekend.

Miracle Offering

Miracle Offering weekend is huge! It takes place the second week of November and 40-50% of what we bring in the entire year will come from the Miracle Offering weekend. We start talking about Miracle Offering two weeks in advance, asking people to prepare their hearts and to be asking God what He is encouraging them to give. On Miracle Offering Weekend, Pastor Rob preaches a specific message about generosity and expanding the Kingdom of God. He invites the congregation to give the best gift they have ever given! We also remind people that all of the money that comes in goes out to Kingdom Builders partners. The window is open for two weeks for people to give their gift, reminding the congregation each week that they can participate in the Miracle Offering.

Miracle Offering Reveal

Three weekends after the miracle offering, Pastor Rob will reveal the total number that was given for Miracle Offering. We make sure this is a celebratory moment!

Final Push

Following the Miracle Offering reveal, we have our final push to reach our goal before the end of the year. We send several emails to the church, continue to talk about it from the stage during weekend services and we heavily emphasize stock gifts as year end is when most of those gifts are given.
