Sponsor a child at the Advent Conspiracy table during a Crest Sunday gathering through Christmas. OR, here are three children who have been waiting over a year to join the passion center:
Costa D. (Age 6) CostaPhoto.jpg
Costa is one of five children (Esther, Jessie, Shakira, Costa, and Idrine). In 2020, they lost their mother suddenly after giving birth to their sister, Idrine. The four older children now live with their grandparents, who rely solely on piece works for support and struggle to make ends meet.
Costa is very shy around others, but he loves to eat nsima and thelele (okra), and play football with his friend. He also loves to eat sweets and Kamba!
Days waiting; 716

Linley S. (Age 14) LinleyPhoto.jpg
Linley is the third child in a family of five children (Beauty, Alinafe, Brian, and George, and Wycliff, her nephew). Her father died in 2016, and her mother in 2018, leaving her eldest sister as the head of the household. Without an income, the family struggles to find food. Enrolling Linley and her family in the Child Headed Household program will allow them to receive the support they need by providing food and, most importantly, giving them the hope found in Jesus Christ alone.

Nixon (Age 19) NixonPhoto.jpg
SPONSORED!
*Greatest Need*
Nixon lost both parents, his mother died in 2008, and his father died the following year. Since then, Nixon and his three siblings have stayed with his grandmother.
Nixon's grandmother is elderly and struggles to provide for him and his siblings, and the family constantly experiences a shortage of food, clothing, and insufficient school support. Following the assessment Passion Center conducted, Nixon was accepted into the program to help him realize his dream. Nixon desires to become a teacher someday!

Crest sets aside money each month to care for those in need - both within our church and those we're connected to. This year we've used those funds to buy groceries, provide supplemental income for folks who lost their jobs, and help people with unexpected bills. We consider it a joy to share God's resources where it's needed.
At the end of the year, we want to bolster our Benevolence Fund to continue practicing the radical generosity we see in Jesus
Giving Goal: $1500
Update (12/18/22): $1,000 RAISED

Crest is practicing the Way of Jesus for the good of our city. Our "Neighbors" initiative launches us into 2023 with a renewed focus on Christ's mandate to love our actual neighbors (Matthew 12:31)
THE INITIATIVE IS THREEFOLD:
1) We're building up our Outreach fund to support neighborhood block parties in 2023. Giving Goal: $500
2) We're encouraging our members to identify needs in their neighborhoods and apply for benevolence assistance.
3) We're developing a Neighborhood Response Team that can support struggling neighbors with home repair.
