A prayer project and fundraiser for our church city, Errenteria
UPDATE: Project is 100% Sponsored!
In 2020, we mailed 4,000 Christmas postcards to the neighborhoods surrounding our church. The postcards contained a Gospel message and an invitation to our church to come and learn about Jesus. I received several responses from that first mailing, and in the years since, we have continued mailing out Christmas postcards, expanding the project to cover each of the 14,388 homes in the city of Errenteria each Christmas.
Our city is divided into 18 neighborhoods, and I’ve prepared information about each neighborhood to encourage those who follow our ministry to “adopt” a neighborhood in prayer leading up to Christmas. It would be wonderful if you could pray:
- That the Lord would prepare the hearts of the individuals who will come into contact with the Gospel
- That when the cards are received, people would not be distracted and throw them away without thought
- That people would remember that there is a church in their city when they have a moment of spiritual sensitivity.
I’ve prepared a prayer card for each neighborhood, which can be shared or saved as a reminder. If you want to print out multiple cards, for example for a group of people to each pick one town to pray for, you can use this print-ready PDF file.
We get an excellent deal on the cost of printing and sending the cards—the total is approximately $0.09 per home. However, with 14,388 homes to cover, we are praying the Lord would help cover the cost of reaching the entire city. The map below shows each neighborhood in the city, and at the time of writing each neighborhood is colored red, but I will update them to green once the cost for each city has been donated. If any of you would like to send a gift to help with the project, we would be very grateful! The costs for the various neighborhoods range from $4 to $210, and you can adopt a specific neighborhood, or donate without specifying.
