Love Offering

---

We have decided to have a love offering collection at the conference. We have identified three women who are betrayed partners, in the messy middle, whose husbands have not chosen recovery. As we know, enforced boundaries can lead to messy situations, leaving partners in a season of great financial need.

We feel this puts them in the widow & orphan category. This is the demographic Jesus called the church to assist when unexpected tragedy struck and/or life circumstances unfavorably left women or children in great need. Instead of condemning and shaming these women for “giving up on their marriages”, we admire them for calling their spouses to something better. They are survivors who will eventually thrive, but they need a little bit of help now. 

We hope and pray this offering will be a rich blessing for these three faithful ladies. Their names will not be publicly announced, but we will let you all know how much was raised.

Thank you in advance for your kindness, compassion, and generosity!

"The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me, because the Lord has anointed me

to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted,

to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners, 

to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor and the day of vengeance of our God,

to comfort all who mourn, and provide for those who grieve in Zion—

to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy

instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair.

They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the Lord

for the display of his splendor."
