Shalom is the word in the Bible for Peace. We want to inject this peace of God into our city by meeting physical and financial needs. The Shalom Fund has been an amazing way to show love to our city. We have used this fund to pay for rent, help struggling parents feed their families, cover mental health counseling, and a myriad of other opportunities that have allowed us to extend the peace of Christ into our city.

You read that number right! The RIP Medical Debt Project will allow us to forgive $1,000,000 worth of medical debt in Butler County! In recognizing the burden that financial debt brings, what better way to put the forgiveness of God on display than by removing the weight of debt off of someone's shoulders?  Imagine finding yourself in a situation where your child has cancer, your aging mother has Alzheimer's, your neighbor has an unexplainable tumor, and they have no insurance. These are the types of situations that will be blessed through this debt relief!

Let's bring a glimpse of Heaven to Uganda this Easter by providing food, clothing, and shelter! The Gift Of Hope Orphanage in Bugiri Uganda has a big Easter celebration that they want to put on for the kiddos there! Think more than just rice and beans for Easter lunch! Meat, Veggies, sodas, and all the fixings! This will also help to provide for school needs and health care for the kiddos! 

By building out a youth center right in the heart of the Maji area of Marseille, we have a chance to change the course of the Maji people through the upcoming generations. Familles En Action recently purchased a new building and they need our help renovating it! We want to provide the funds for the project and then the manpower and womanpower to build out the space in an upcoming trip.

What better way to show the kids of Red Door that God's heart is for all of the nations than by offering scholarships to send kids 12 and under on Mission to witness His love firsthand. The Kids on Mission Fund is a special fund at Red Door that exists to help parents take their kids on mission from a very young age. Imagine the world view and impact that it would have on a 8-12 year old to go on a short terms mission project with their mom or dad! You will be helping to give our kids a vision as big as God's love! 

Two Words: Creativity + Durability! We want to craft a space that captivates the wonder and imagination of our kids as they encounter the Story of God. At the same time, it also needs to be a space that can withstand the never-stopping playful nature of all that is kid. Crafting a Kid's Space of Wonder and Durability helps us shape their rooms, build cabinets, and create organization! Let's craft a space of wonder for our kids so that they can come each week and hear about Jesus in an environment that they are excited to hangout in! 

We know we cannot begin this Whole Vision by going and buying Walmart... but we can begin by hiring the right leadership. We believe hiring someone to go after this vision of Whole will be one of the greatest game-changers we could ever invest in this year. So here is the challenge:
