Heart for the House 2023
Get ready for IMPACT! Above and beyond our regular tithes and offerings, our church family annually invests in a couple of projects that the Lord has put on our hearts as a church and as a leadership.
We call this the Heart for the House campaign. Projects can vary from missions to building projects. A great example of a project we did last year was the corn-soya-blend factory in Zimbabwe. We are currently in the planning phase, and will have more news about this in the coming few months.
Four times per year we put a special focus on Heart for the House, in accordance with the Biblical calendar: in the spring around the feasts of Passover and Unleavened Bread (Easter) and Shavuot (Feast of Weeks / Pentecost), in the fall around Sukkot (Feast of Booths / Tabernacles) and in the winter around Christmas.
God gives special direction for the feasts of Unleavened Bread, Shavuot and Sukkot in Deuteronomy 16:16. His people “shall not appear before the LORD empty-handed”.
Our Heart for the House campaign is a great way to live out this scripture practically.
In 2023 our Hilversum location is hoping to raise 30.000 euro above and beyond regular tithes and offerings. Huizen will raise an additional 5.000 euro. 50% of the total will go to missions. The other 50% will go to local projects.
