Recently, Project Church made the decision that from here on out, we will give away half our budget to help end human trafficking & sex slavery globally, serve the poor locally, and help start churches who share our DNA.
Our mission is clear: Love God. Love People. Live Free.
In light of this, we have committed to focus on three actions of social justice:
1. Being good news to the poor
In particular, in our local community.
We have a relationship with an elementary school that’s located in the heart of the most impoverished area of our city. Our hope is to utilize this common ground to reach out to the students, families, and staff of this school and be good news to them in creative and loving ways.
2. Freedom for the enslaved
Freedom comes in many forms. So does slavery. We are committed to helping people live free in many ways however, one particular cause has broken our hearts and captured our imagination: human trafficking and sex slavery. With two children sold every minute with an estimated 27 million souls crying out for freedom, we must do something!
Our church is going to partner with Love146.org. Their vision is the abolition of child sex slavery and exploitation. Nothing less.
That’s a fight worth fighting!
To work to that end, they provide aftercare for the children who have been trapped in this horrific industry as well as prevention programs to bring awareness to the issue.
3. Joining God in advancing the gospel
We believe the most effective way to do this is through starting fresh expressions of gospel-driven churches.
The gospel of grace found in Jesus is the greatest news to ever hit humanity. Our love for him compels us to love others and join together in communities of faith to become more like Jesus.
There’s no greater cause than the gospel.
Giving half our offering away is a huge leap of faith for our new church and we’re trusting that God will provide for all of our needs. Following him is one grand adventure and we’re just getting started.
