Matching Campaign!

Between now and Dec. 31, 2012, donations to Love INC will have a double impact... or more!  Please include Love INC on your Christmas list this year!  

Generous donors have offered Gallatin County Love INC matching funds - up to $12,000!  Here's how it works:

• For every gift up to $100, your donation will be matched by an equal amount.  For example, a gift of $50 will be matched by another $50, resulting in a total of $100 to support Love INC ministries.
• For every gift of $100 or more, your gift will be matched 1.5 times!  For example, a gift of $100 will be matched with a gift of $150.  A gift of $200 will be result in another gift of $300, for a total to Love INC of $500!
• You can fund the entire Love INC ministry - all its programs and activities - for one enitre day with a gift of $822.

God is blessing Love INC by enabling us to provide the "Change Your Life" program for families and individuals in chronic need, as well as for people who want to learn new or enhanced life skills.  This holistic program not only provides a "hands up" approach, it brings people closer to the Lord.  Feedback from participants is enthusiastic and the results are truly encouraging.  This local program works because God is sending His grace to help hurting people through it! 

Here's what one of your neighbors, a mother, wrote to us about her experience in Change Your Life:  "One day I woke up hopeless and scared... I was so afraid to even look at my problems.  But God guided me to Love INC and the 'changing' program.  Today I leave with hope for my future and my daughter's future."

This Christmas, help provide a "hands up" to a Gallatin County neighbor during the Matching Campaign - and multiply the impact of your gift!  

We pray you have a joyous Christmas... and we thank God for everyone's prayers for Love INC!

Gift Wrap!

When it comes to gift wrapping are you all thumbs?

Well, the generous folks at Schnee’s in Bozeman have offered a way to ease your holiday stress... and help support Love INC's on-going service to Gallatin County at the same time!

On December 14 and 15, stop by Schnee's store on Main Street in downtown Bozeman to get your gifts wrapped. For a donation to Love INC, the gifts you bring to the wrapping table will be wrapped for you!

Workers will be at Schnee’s from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. with colorful wrapping paper and delightful ribbons.  Please support Love INC's work of helping churches help people, and get your Christmas presents wrapped at Schnee's on Dec. 14 and 15!

Thanks for Praying!

In October, Love INC asked individuals, families and partner churches to pray for God to guide and bless Love INC.  We were especially in need of workers (volunteers) to serve in the office and on the phones.  God has answered your prayers!

Several new Intake Workers and Receptionists, along with other office volunteers and volunteers to serve our neighbors who have real needs, have come forward.  God has moved their hearts, and they have responded!  These volunteers are busy at work now, learning and being trained, and serving -- making Love INC the incredible manifestation of God's love in Gallatin County that it is.

Please keep praying, because a few shifts are still open.  Or, consider starting the New Year off with the joy of serving Christ and being a part of Love INC's wise and careful, relational approach to helping our neighbors -- consider volunteering with Love INC in 2013!

Again, we thank God for the provision He gives, and the answer to our prayers!
