They said it couldn’t be done. They said NewCov couldn’t “Stake Out the Vision” and purchase 5 acres of property on Nees Ave. and be debt free in three years. But what is impossible for man is possible for God. In 1988, as a six-month-old church, NewCov took the outrageous step of laying claim to God’s vision for Northeast Fresno/Clovis. Amazingly, in just three years our baby church purchased our initial acreage and, through God’s people and God’s power, we were debt free.

    Today the Lord has positioned us to take another bold step and claim freedom from debt with our 7 Years to Freedom giving opportunity. About $50,000 per month would be reclaimed for high-impact ministry if we were debt-free. Additionally, by paying off this debt on our facilities in 7 years, we will save $2,500,000 in interest! Imagine the lives that could be transformed if that money went to Christ’s work and not the bank. Here’s how a “little can do much” in the Lord’s hands (Matthew 14:17-21) and how you can participate during YEAR 1:

    Option A – For those at NewCov who are currently giving to Faithwave or one of our previous capital campaigns.

    Challenge: Extend your capital giving for one more year as your commitment to Year 1 of 7 Years to Freedom. Simply indicate in your check memo the amount you would like to allocate for 7 Years to Freedom. You’ll only write one check for both tithes and this fund.

    Option B – For those at NewCov who currently give but are not participating in a capital campaign.

    Challenge: increase your regular giving by 7% as your commitment to Year 1 of 7 Years to Freedom. For example:

    Current Giving
    +7%
    Total Giving
    $1000
    +$70
    $1070
    $750
    +$53
    $803
    $500
    +$35
    $535
    $250
    +$18
    $268
    $100
    +$7
    $107

    Again, just simply indicate in the check memo the amount that is to go to the General Fund and the amount that is to go to the 7 Years to Freedom Fund.
    With either option, you can make your donation at our Giving Kiosk in the lobby, or online by clicking HERE.
