Who could ask for a better scenario if you’re a ministry that has just been vetted and approved for a grant request from StrikeForce Giving?

If you’re a potential donor, looking to bless a ministry that is close to your heart, but you have trepidation, wondering if they’re a good steward of their donations, as we all hope they are, you rely on the sincerity of their intentions, but also deeply feel how do I know they will fulfill the promises that they make? I can’t think of a better way than having the endorsement of StrikeForce Giving where vetting is painstakingly done with a deep dive into a ministries infrastructure by a small battalion of local, interested, committed, enthusiastic women from the board of StrikeForce that make the time and take the responsibility of checking and re-checking ministries based on their ability and past performance then place their very public endorsement with sizable grant money from their own wallets.

Now, if I’m a ministry, I use that endorsement for being a grant-winner to solicit even more participation from potential donors with that type of “good housekeeping seal of approval” affidavit as a very prized honor for years to come…

What an enormous treasure for a community to have so many entrenched women of faith and stature come together annually with their collective treasure to bless ministries in need, with such a large outpouring of love and respect. Amen?

In my book, StrikeForce Giving stands at the head of the class as a living example of being the hands and feet of Jesus.

Kudos to the leadership and board of StrikeForce, and on behalf of a grateful community, we thank you and feel so richly blessed.

Last month we started a new feature in the GOOD NEWS called “GOD STORIES” authored by Antony Tchividjian; the accounts and experiences are extremely emotional with a recurring theme of redemption, and can only be called GOD STORIES. This month we follow by adding yet another new monthly feature called “PASTOR PROFILES” and begin with Pastor Troy Gramling, who is in his his 25th year at Potential Church.

Wishing you all a Happy Easter, Hallelujah! HE is risen!
