week-5
Every candle tells the story. Every gift doubles the reach.

Light the Way

This Advent season, we’re walking through the story of God’s promises fulfilled — from Hope, to Peace, to Joy, to Love, all leading to the moment everything has been pointing toward: Jesus, the Light of the World.

And right now, we have an extraordinary opportunity to share that Good News with even more people.

A faithful friend of the ministry has stepped forward with a Matching Gift Challenge, which means:

Every dollar you give will be doubled to help take the Gospel even further.

December 2025

Advent isn’t a countdown — it’s a journey.
A journey that reminds us God is faithful, God keeps His word, and God moves toward us.

Each week we light a new candle that tells part of the story.

IM-N2ME

“Me, me, me.” Our world has devolved to such a level of "Vanity Plate Think" (self centeredness, narcissism, and an ultimate “looking out for #1" mindset)… However, just as Jesus so perfectly modeled (“The Son of Man didn’t come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many.” -Matthew 28:20), are we then, as Christ followers, living to be served, or to serve?
