At the beginning of the summer I challenged our church to come up with creative ways to raise money for the benefit of Snehashrya Woman's Shelter in Northern India. We set a lofty goal for our small church - $3,500. This may not seem like a significant amount to us in the western world, but this amount covers several months of operating expenses for the shelter.
This past Sunday we took up our offering and I was BLOWN AWAY! The people of PBC came up big time. I couldn't be prouder of what our church did. All glory goes to God! Do you want to know how much we raised???
Drum roll please....
$10,504 was collected in Sunday's service!!!!! Over three times the amount we had been praying for. God is good!
Since Sunday another $250 has been pledged. We are knocking on $11K. It's so cool to be able to bless the shelter with this amount. To God be the glory!
Amen!
