PROJECT MANUAL 2023


God is a generous giver. He blesses us and lavishes His love in our lives. However, we are not to hoard His generosity. After two years of great hardship as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic wreaking havoc globally, our instinct might be to stockpile what we have rather than giving from what God has provided us. But in a culture consumed with consuming and driven by selfishness, we can respond to hell’s greed with heaven’s generosity! God doesn’t give us more so that we can have more; He gives us more so that we can give more. I’m excited to introduce Lifehouse Church to our 2023 Kingdom Builders initiative. In 2017, we launched Kingdom Builders as the strongest and most strategic way for us to invest in and expand God’s kingdom through Lifehouse. Instead of periodically taking up various offerings for specific needs and outreach efforts, we realized that the most effective way to fund God-sized efforts is through Kingdom Builders: an initiative similar to a mutual fund which combines our global, local, and future initiatives all into one effort. Your regular tithes will continue to fund the commitments involved in our annual operations budget (including support for our Lifehouse missionaries around the globe). Still, Kingdom Builders is all about stretching our kingdom impact even further. 


This campaign is for those who are faith-filled and faith-led to give above and beyond their regular tithes (setting aside 10% of their income to God through the local church) towards the global, local, and future initiatives God has laid before us in the year ahead. We invite you to prayerfully consider how God is calling you to respond in sacrificial generosity by making a monthly commitment toward our ambitious Kingdom Builders goal. Your commitment is not about finances, but about faith. Allow God to grow your courage in giving above and beyond, and consider how God might supernaturally provide in unexpected ways. You are blessed to be a blessing! We are excited about the projects and efforts we envision for 2023, and we see each of these as incredible opportunities to build God’s kingdom. Thank you for making the sacrifice to be a Kingdom Builder and for believing that God will use you to change the world for His glory!



Global

Goal: $173,500

In Mark 16, Jesus commands us to go into all the world and preach the Gospel to ALL of creation. Kingdom Builders gives us the opportunity to support key missions projects, such as providing vehicles, humanitarian aid, church planting, and pastoral development. Everyone, in every nation, deserves a chance to hear the Gospel.


Local

Goal: $173,000

In Matthew 5, Jesus tells us the local church is the light of the world. Kingdom Builders is committed to funding the Church’s growth locally through expanding our own campuses; planting life-giving, Spirit-filled churches; and ministering to the hurting in our own backyards. We do not do this for comfort, fancy buildings, or praise, but for the purpose of making a space for those not yet here--for them to personally know a loving, Heavenly Father.


Future

Goal: $70,300

We would risk everything for the next generation, because they are the church now and the church of the future. In 1 Timothy, Paul writes to the young leader (Timothy), encouraging him to set the example in speech, conduct, love, faith, and purity. Kingdom Builders believes in coming alongside our future Christian leaders to foster a love for the Bible, God, and the lost. Our Kingdom Builders’ partnerships work with organizations that care for the physical and spiritual needs of our future leaders from birth through those beginning their careers. We want the next generation to serve, give, and love more.

Q&A


How will these projects be funded?

These projects are funded by the “over and above” giving to Kingdom Builders. When you give to Kingdom Builders, God’s marvelous kingdom expands!

What about the tithe?

At Lifehouse, we believe that every Christ-follower is called to be generous and tithe (10%) on their full income to their local church. Kingdom Builders is above and beyond our tithe, and it is generous and sacrificial giving that God lays on our hearts to change the world.

What if I have other questions?

We would love to answer any additional questions you may have! Please email MWilliams@LifehouseChurch.org.
