The 1814 Project has been announced



Today I had the humble pleasure of announcing to the great people of First Assembly that we were beginning an adventure that would impact an entire community.

Exactly 1814 miles away is a small town of 4,000 people who desperately need someone to come along side of them and help transform their community.

Welcome to The 1814 Project. Our church will gather its resources and local connections to make a difference in San Jeronimo, Honduras. One church in this friendly Latin American community is praying today that our people will be excited about this newly formed friendship.

Together, with God at the center, we will change people's lives...on this earth, and for eternity.

We will strategically invest in the school, the government, the faith community, local families, and every single child.

This is not a one-time missions trip. This is not throwing money to a poorer church far, far away. This is a partnership. This is an alliance. This will become a friendship. In fact, over time, this will become family.

Join our adventure. Pray for our partnership and alliance.
Pray for San Jeronimo, Honduras.

The 1814 Project...begins today!

That is awesome! Praying for y'all as you move forward with this! Having first hand experiencing the generosity of Mattoon First, I can honestly say I know the blessings that are about to be poured out into this community! Looking forward to reports of how Jesus is using y'all to impact an entire city!
