Thank you for Giving to the Lord
Thank you for Partnering with God and Ablaze!
Your giving helps Ablaze to reach souls of all ages. Please prayerfully consider a monthly donation. I love being a priest and it is my dream to set more souls Ablaze with love for the Real Presence of Jesus in the Holy Eucharist. We are only on earth for a short time and it is our time to make an impact for the Kingdom of God.The Eucharistic Jesus deserves all our love and affection. Please help us make Jesus' dream a reality!
Your generous giving enables Ablaze to meet the demands of our growth and expansion. We need your help in reaching the many schools and church's that are inviting us to offer Ablaze Events. We are currently working on inviting people to become Ablaze missionaries who will be dedicated to serving God through Ablaze.
What your giving makes possible:
1.) As a priest of the Archdiocese, being assigned to the ministry of Ablaze, I am required to raise most of my own salary, 100% of my health insurance, and benefits. Your donation is helping me reach my annual goal of 50k. Thank you all! Every donation helps!
2.) Your giving is helping Ablaze to complete important building projects for our ministry. Your giving has blessed Ablaze with our St. Joseph Center where 100 students currently attend our weekly Encounter School along with other various ministry events. We are soon beginning a larger building project. This building will be called the 'The Ark' where will begin to have our 24/7 worship. We are also beginning our Ablaze Marian Grotto! To God be the Glory! Your investment in the mission and work of Ablaze keeps on giving into eternity! God is never be outdone in generosity.
3.) As Ablaze continues to expand and grow we are involving more coordinators to oversee the various logistical and admin needs of our campus. We are also inviting people to enter into a discernment process with us to become Ablaze missionaries. These missionaries will help serve the volume of ministry requests we receive from schools, churches, and others.
Thank you so much for giving! Every gift helps! If you’d like to contact Ablaze please email me: ablazeworshipministry@gmail.com
