Or HaOlam Messianic Congregation
Building Fund
Or HaOlam is raising a building fund as "an offering lifted up in worship from those who wholeheartedly want to give." Sh'mot (Exodus) 25:2. We are continuing to accept pledges for our building fund. After praying about this, we urge you to seek the mind of Messiah as to what amount of offering/pledge you should commit to, for the sake of building the kingdom of the King of Israel. We are working to increase accessibility, aesthetics and Jewish expression, and expand our functionality to have events and services for our congregation. We trust you will view this undertaking as part of your structuring your life for debt-free blessing and freedom, and not as another financial burden. Of course, this pledge is understood to be in addition to the tithe to the storehouse, not just a diversion of funds.
