Miracle Offering Explanation
At GraceLand Church, we are people of God’s Word, driven by God’s presence, maturing as disciples of Jesus, and building God’s Kingdom.
Every year, we have the mandate and the opportunity to give towards the purposes of God in our church, in our community, and around the world. We do this through Kingdom Builders. This Miracle Offering funds our Kingdom Builders initiatives.
We are a land of grace for the good of the world, and that starts with each of us as individuals and families.
The Ask
We are asking you to pray about how God is calling you to be a part of this miracle offering. We believe God wants to expand your vision and faith for His Kingdom, all while taking care of all your needs (Matthew 6:33).
This Miracle Offering (formerly called our Christmas Offering) is going towards our three Kingdom Builders initiatives. Read about the results of last year’s offering and the details for this year’s below.
1. Local Fund
With last year’s offering, we were able to care for widows and orphans, rescue those trapped in addictions, and provide generously to many facing the hardest moments of their lives in our church and community. Thank you! Our Local Fund enables us to be the hands and feet of Jesus in our city, provide tangibly to meet basic needs, support young missionaries on our college campuses through Chi Alpha, and offer support for disaster relief. It also helps us provide discipleship for mothers in our community through MUMLife, respond to unexpected needs with our facility (like paving our driveway and expanding our parking lot this year), and support church planting around our nation through Church Multiplication Network.
2. Global Fund
God is a missionary God. He loves the world and sent Jesus to seek and save the lost. That’s the only reason we know Him today! If you aren’t personally going to the nations as a missionary, you’re called to help send them. Part of our Miracle Offering is sending over 30 missionaries on God-ordained strategic assignments all around the world. They are loving people in Jesus’ name, meeting profound needs (clean water, food, shelter, training, disaster relief), sharing the Gospel with those who have never heard it, making disciples, and planting churches. We do this through our trusted partners in Assemblies of God World Missions and Convoy of Hope. The more we give to Kingdom Builders through this Miracle Offering, the more we can do. Every dollar actually helps transform a life.
3. Future Fund
We are a land of grace for the good of the world and we aspire to grow into that vision more every year. We have been working hard to develop our land, prepare for our new building, and expand our ministry capacity to kids, youth, and adults as an outpost of God’s Kingdom that will reach people for generations to come. Each year, this offering helps us strategically move forward in this vision. This year, it will also help us partner with the Tennessee Ministry Network to revitalize the Jackson Conference Center where our students (along with thousands of others) go to camp every summer. We are shaping the future by raising up a Jesus Generation, and they are hungry for revival and spiritual awakening like never before. Let’s do our part to make the way.
2025 Goal: $200,000
Given Year to Date: $65,725
Remaining Goal: $134,275
Our trust is in the Lord and He will provide all we need to do all He has called us to do. This goes for you personally as well. As you seek His Kingdom first, He will care for all your needs (Matthew 6:33).
