Giving Hope Every Day
0Pastor Jeff believes that Give Every Day is an important initiative for Portico members to serve in their community and the world. “Portico calls people to connect, grow and serve. There are so many people without hope – it’s our responsibility as Christians to bring hope by serving our community and the world as part of our Christian walk.”
Give Every Day captured his imagination for the impact it could have on their missions program. It is connected it to their One Hope Benefit concert that the church holds at Christmas time where the proceeds are given to charitable organizations in the community. This is a way to personalize Give Every Day to Portico. They adopted the style of the Give Every Day brochure for their materials.
They released the brochure in August and immediately had some people demonstrate their commitment by agreeing to automatic debit from their bank accounts.
The coffee cups have been sold and used as a daily, visual reminder to give generously every day. Some have used it as a way to save money on daily coffee, and others will use it as a collection vessel. Either way, it has helped people to give more intentionally.

Funds to Feed The People
Pray that God would continue to provide the funds for us to feed the 100 people who come here for three meals each day, as well as for the overall economic situation in the country.
Hot Water Tanks Needed
Please ask the Lord to provide for the replacement of three hot water tanks that have rusted beyond repair. Without them, water has to be boiled for each child to bathe. Would you continue to ask the Lord to spiritually develop our children and staff, and raise up godly leaders amongst us.
Pray that God would give us clear direction with regards to school buildings, as well as unshakable faith in His ability to provide beyond our needs. Pray that God’s power would rule over Village of Hope and that the enemy’s tactics would be defeated.
