Love in Action makes it simple for you to make a difference. Every month for the remainder of 2022 will feature a new opportunity for you to put love into action! See below for details.

December:

During December we are partnering with Compassion International to fund the building of a child development center in Kenya, Africa – specifically in the Laisamis Province near Marsabit.

I cannot imagine an opportunity more aligned with our heart and vision as a church… Helping broken and vulnerable people find life in Christ… Let’s consider how we can be a part of making a tangible difference in the lives of these kids today.
-Matt

This month, we are seeking to partner in what God is doing in Africa through investing in the construction of a new Compassion child center in Kenya – specifically in the Laisamis Province near Marsabit. Church-based child development centers are committed to creating a stable, nurturing environment where children experience God’s love and acceptance in tangible ways. The cost of this center is $29,000, and we are hoping to provide all of that by the end of December so that Compassion can begin mobilizing those resources in January.
 
To give online to this need, click here and designate your giving to the “Kenya Compassion Center” option. You can also give through our secure offering boxes this coming Sunday or mail your gift to the GFC office at 2314 S. Greenwood Drive. Please write “Kenya” in the memo line or on your giving envelope. Any gifts received above and beyond this need will be used to help fund other ongoing ministries at GFC.

Our partnership with Mountain View serves one of the most economically and educationally challenged areas of our city. Since 2010, we have sought to be an encouragement to the school and community through tangible expressions of God’s love. Our goal is to build trust and relationships with the staff, children, and families through direct support and involvement. Great opportunities are before us, and there is much to be done!
