So What Does $20,000 Mean?

This Sunday is Compassion Sunday. For us this Sunday is going to be a day of celebration and truly we have a lot to celebrate. This Sunday we celebrate the fact that as a congregation we collectively sponsor some 60 individual children throughout the world through the ministry of Compassion alone (additionally we as a congregation sponsor children through other ministries such as World Vision.) This Sunday we celebrate the fact that in just 4 months we as a congregation united successfully raised over $20,000, making it possible for us to fully fund our Sponsored CSP in Wolmera, Ethiopia. This Sunday we celebrate the coming together that has occurred in the life of Hilltop Assembly, from writing letters to our sponsored children together, to the spontaneously organized prayer meeting for the health of our pastor when he was in extreme pain in Ethiopia. We are grateful to God for the unity that He has kick started in our church through Compassions ministry. As we approach Compassion Sunday we believe that our efforts as guided and blessed by God will prove to have eternal benefit; but WE GIVE TESTIMONY to the fact that we as a congregation and as individuals have already received a blessing that is difficult to measure. All week long I have been asking myself the following question: "What do all of these sponsorships and this $20,000 mean?"

For the answer to this question watch this:
