The campaign begins on Monday, February 24th with 40 days of prayer and fasting, and will conclude with a

celebration Sunday at church on April 27th, where totals will be announced. The purpose of this campaign is to raise funds to remodel our facility and increase our community reach.

We have designed the improvements and we have some solid cost estimates depending on how much of the total project we feel led to complete at this time.

Funds will be raised in a variety of ways. We have some money saved that will be available to help us get started. There will also be an internal aspect of Beyond These Walls where each of us will be invited to go on a prayer journey and prayerfully consider how we might financially participate; the congregation will pledge on April 13th. This is a step of faith and we all get a front row seat to watching the Lord bless.

The duration of the giving period will be three years, however, donations can also be a one-time gift.

While we hope that won't happen for you, we understand that the future is unknown. If your situation changes, you and your family would determine the most appropriate response. As this is a commitment between you and the Lord, we trust you will prayerfully work through it with the Lord.

Yes, all funds donated to the Beyond These Walls fund will receive the same tax receipting as any other giving to First

Shallowater.

We ask that you join us in prayer, as God is the one who will ultimately provide for His church. Prayer is not the only thing that we will do, but it must be the first thing. Join us in our "40 days of Prayer and Fasting" that begins Monday, February 24th, but also join us for the upcoming "4-hour Prayer Vigil" on March 28th & 29th. More information on the Prayer Vigil will be coming soon!

The business would receive a donation receipt for tax purposes the same as an individual donor. You may need to look at the regulations for your employer's matching funds. We would be happy to help however we can.

Yes. We're asking that whatever you pledge for the 3-year-period would be over and above your normal

giving. We use the General Operating Fund, where your normal tithes and offerings are placed, for the day-to-day operations of the church. The funds pledged for Beyond These Walls will be placed in a separate fund to be used solely for the purposes listed above

Pastor Brad and his team will be hosting several small gatherings between March 3rd and March 27th so that you can hear more and ask questions. We will be sharing location and times for these gatherings soon, so more info to follow. If none of the times work for you, or you would like to talk with someone one-on-one, please feel free to contact Pastor Brad (brad@firstshallowater.org) or Campaign Leadership Team Chairman, Steve Nieman (stevesnieman@gmail.com).
