We’re thinking differently about Giving Tuesday this year. We’re compelled by the many needs among youth and asking you to give your time and talent.
Allow me to share what’s compelling us.
In Matthew 9:37-38, Jesus writes, “When he saw the crowds, he had compassion for them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest.”
We’re living in a Matthew 9 moment. There’s a youth mental health crisis going on right now. Youth are wandering like sheep without a shepherd. They’re searching. They’re vulnerable. They’re hungry for relationships. They’re wrestling with who God is. The harvest is truly plentiful.
As a result, our ministries are growing in capacity, and very simply: We need your help.
This week, we’re taking action in a couple of ways: 1) Praying to the Lord of the harvest for laborers; 2) Casting vision on a movement of people compelled to invest in youth.
We invite you to join us.
Pray for laborers for the harvest…
Become a laborer for the harvest…
Giving Tuesday presents an opportunity to consider generosity. We always welcome financial investments in our mission. But giving happens in various forms, not just treasure. Your time and talent are needed as ministry needs are pressing.
We need ministry leaders who have a heart to pursue relationships with youth. We need meal teams who desire to nourish our youth. We need bus drivers.
We need “laborers” in various capacities.
Are you interested in “giving” in this capacity? First, pray earnestly as Jesus says. It’s only through His power that we’ll see a movement among our youth.
Second, please contact us if your heart is stirring. We’d love to have a conversation with you and get you connected, “giving” of yourself in a way that invests in eternity.
