Many Hearts, One Purpose

To Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever.”

off $10.00 and allow you to give your best seed. Sow with the right mindset and sow

whatever you can afford to give.

program consists of different families contributing a total of $1,500 for one year.
