Dear Family & Friends,

I’m writing to you to tell you about the exciting things going on at my church, House of Joy in Valdosta, Georgia. I’ve been going to House of Joy for XX years/months. God has really shown me ………… It’s been amazing how ………….. What I love about House of Joy is …………………

4) Copy this text into your email:

We’re in a very exciting time at House of Joy. We believe that God is leading us to reach more people here in Valdosta. In order to maximize our outreach to individuals not experiencing God’s love, to meet the real needs of people in our community at a high level and to accomplish the mission Jesus died for we feel it is necessary to purchase land and build a permanent facility for the church.

Our vision is to see people’s eternal destinies changed as they come to Jesus. We believe that everyone can experience JOY in a meaningful relationship with Jesus. Our vision is all about reaching people. Building a building is NOT our goal. It is but one step in our journey.

You are an important part of my life and I consider it an honor to invite you to give into what God is doing at House of Joy. Your gift will change people’s lives. You may never get to worship with us in Valdosta, and you may never actually see WHO your investment touches, but we know that God has wonderful rewards in store for those who give freely to His causes!

Please consider investing into what God is doing here in Valdosta. We believe that God is doing something BIG in and through House of Joy and we are privileged to be a part!

Thank you!
