"All the believers were together and had everything
in common."-Acts
2:44
The need for all of us to be involved becomes evident when we
begin to think about what it will take to build the community
center. This project is far too great for just a few families
to undertake. We are going to need the commitment and support
of every person in order to achieve the dream.
Now
it’s everyone’s turn to make an investment into
SoulRio and the community that has the potential to change the
eternal destiny of thousands of people throughout New Mexico
and the world.
4 Ways to Give
• Give
a cash gift: Ask God for creative ways to increase your gift.
You might consider income from savings, tax refunds,
garage sales, inheritance, bonuses, an extra part-time job, reducing
expenses, deferring major purchases, etc. Involve your whole
family in raising a specific amount and give as much as possible
as an act of worship to God.
• Give a 36-month commitment: You can give far more when it is
spread out over time. The Bible teaches that your faith and spiritual
maturity develops through sacrificial and faithful giving. Make
a habit of consistent and sacrificial giving.
• Give a gift in-kind: If you own a business or have skills, goods,
or services, that can assist SoulRio in any way, you may be able
to donate to this project and possibly benefit from tax advantages
through your gift in-kind giving. Please see your tax advisor
for more information.
• Give a gift of assets: You can give real estate, stocks, bonds,
coins, jewelry, gold, cars, boats, etc. This is a valuable way
to leverage your giving to the direct work of ministry and take
full advantage of the available tax benefits the IRS allows.
Please see your tax advisor for more information.
