Our small group hosted a dinner and dancing event to raise money for a fundraiser. The Mina Project is Hope's radical gesture of generosity to our local community and beyond. It is built on the precept of Jesus' parable of the minas (pronounced my-na) which calls us to multiply and invest in God's kingdom. Hope has chosen to live this out in the following manner.
During the weekend services of September 11/12, each adult attendee--at both the Raleigh and Holly Springs campuses--received an envelope bearing various amounts of cash ranging in increments of $10-$100. A few held $500. In total, over $64,000 was distributed through all services at both campuses. With 12 weeks to multiply their "minas," attendees are encouraged to be as creative and innovative as possible and use the money to invest in a project or work to raise additional funds. By multiplying their investment and returning it to the church, 100% of the raised monies will then be given to pre-selected projects and non-profit agencies to benefit those in need, both globally and locally.
We set up a photo booth to spice it up a bit! You have got to look at these hilarious pictures!!
Enjoy...
