1. READ what gave Jeff fresh purpose
“My service on our school board was rewarding – and challenging! Our buildings were overcrowded – enrollment had climbed from under 800 to over 1,300 students. We worked tirelessly to raise $5 million to meet our space needs - but we got stuck at half of our goal. Someone suggested we bring in a well-known speaker, which we did, and that night we raised around $700,000! The rest of the goal was raised within 6-9 months. It was amazing to observe and be a part of how the Lord truly blessed that event and opened the hearts and wallets of so many people!”
2. REFLECT on what gives you fresh purpose
Can you recall a time when your service has been both rewarding and challenging? What did you learn about God and yourself in that experience?
3. Listen to “Do It Again” by Elevation Worship
An inspiring song about confidence in God’s faithfulness to provide
4. PRAY God’s purpose-filled words over your day!
Father, may your will be done! You encourage us in your Word to “not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.” (Galatians 6:9). Lord sometimes doing your will is hard and we get stuck. Help us stay strong in our faith, to not give up, and press on, believing you will make a way for us. Amen.
5. Before you go…ENJOY this fundraising fun fact!
When funding for the Statue of Liberty's pedestal stalled, newspaper publisher Joseph Pulitzer launched a public campaign. He promised to print every donor’s name, no matter the gift size. Over 120,000 people gave, raising $100,000—proving that small donations from many can achieve something monumental.
