About

An invitation to something greater.

What It Is

Here, Near, Far is a special giving initiative and act of worship to “excel in the grace of giving” (2 Corinthians 8:7) as a church to fund three special projects that will advance the Gospel close to home, all the way to Cambodia.

What to Know

We’re setting aside a special offering during services on April 25 & 26 for three special initiatives here (CCC), near (Twin Cities) and far (Cambodia).

If you consider this your church home, we invite you to come prepared to give in whatever way you normally do. We’re excited to see what God will do through our generosity together.

Note: If you plan to give online, you can still participate in our collective spirit by completing a donation card during services!

FAR

Haley Mills

International Worker | Cambodia

Haley is training and mentoring nursing students in Steung Treng, Cambodia, and providing a Gospel presence in northern Cambodia.

What your money will fund:

As an international worker, Haley is tasked with fundraising a large portion of her role. As her sending church, we want to invest in Haley and help her meet her fundraising goals as she begins her work overseas. Funds will go towards food, housing, and covering basic needs for Haley as she serves the Cambodian people.

Investment: Discipleship, training, and Gospel presence

But since you excel in everything—in faith, in speech, in knowledge, in complete earnestness and in the love we have kindled in you—see that you also excel in this grace of giving.

2 CORINTHIANS 8:7

Excel in the grace of giving

SEPCIAL OFFERING WEEKEND | April 25 + 26

As we give to what God is doing here, near, and far, we’re choosing to take a step—to excel in generosity. And generosity is an essential expression of our faith.

Please pray and ask God for wisdom on what part you might play financially in these three projects.
