So, this year our final amount that we raised as Gracepoint Fellowship Church was $114,798!! That is amazing and despite the economic situation we are facing today, we really pulled together to raise a wonderful amount of money.
But…that’s not all. We’ve asked World Vision if we could be a part of a specific project that they sponsor so we can follow along and see how the money we raised, is impacting a particular project. We hope that with this, we can have opportunities to build contacts and to even make trips out to visit the children who are a part of these projects! Wouldn’t that just be amazing?
Oh… and that’s still not all. It turns out that these projects are a part of a matching grant program. And because of this, our donation will be multiplied up to 7 times in impact by the World Food Relief Organization!!
Which means, our new total is $805,586.00!!!!

Wow…that’s amazing! Looking forward to all the ways that we can connect with the people involved in these projects!
Wow, this number is beyond what I can comprehend. I am excited to see which project we will help in and see how we can get connected through this. We are definitely so blessed to be living in such luxury!!
Wow! I thought $114,798 was a lot, but now we have $805,486! I am excited to see what kind of impact God allowed us to make just through our tiny sacrifice!
wow – that is incredible!
wowsers!
that’s really amazing!
I know it’s been said, but WOW! The little we each contribute really has a multiplying effect!
wow!!!!!
praise the Lord! I’m plan on telling on the people who donated this awesome news!
how come all the super contributors have cool avatars? how do i replace this pink snowflake?
hmm, i dunno larry, i dunno…
i want a cool avatar too! can i get a pikachu? j/k
what’s a pikachu? how about gohan avatar?
pikachu is that extremely bright yellow thing that Chris now has as his avatar…
I can’t believe I know who Gohan is.
ah yes, i love my cool avatar =)
you have to sign up for a wordpress account (http://www.wordpress.com) to customize your avatar. otherwise, you get stuck with a randomly-colored snowflake.
actually, i forgot that wordpress uses gravatars (globally recognized avatars)…basically the avatar “follows” you wherever you go, so if you comment on other blogs, the same avatar you choose will appear!
sign up with your email address (http://en.gravatar.com), choose an image, and voila, you now have a cool avatar/gravatar like all the super contributors
thx!
i can’t believe it! :O my jaws dropped when I read this. So amazing… so amazing! looking forward to next year.
Don’t forget to pick up your jaw after dropping it… otherwise you really will be “jaw free”.
lol
this is really amazing…thankful for the matching contribution!
O yeah…gotta love those matching programs!
This is terrific! I’m happy more children will be helped by these generous matching programs!
