Resurrection Offering

filligree

On March 28, 2021 New Life Dresher will receive the Resurrection Offering as our monetary response to the mission of “Making Jesus Known.” Our desire is to commit our funds, our time, and our talents to assist the poor and oppressed in our community, the Philadelphia region, and around the world.

Each year New Life supports the ministries outlined below with funds from the Resurrection Offering. The Resurrection offering gives us a chance to consider how Christ is showing up in marginalized communities around us. As followers of Christ, we are called to follow in His footsteps and show up where He is most needed. As you read about each ministry, will you prayerfully consider how you could also support these ministries with your time and talents? Each ministry has listed ways to get involved. There is also a contact listed for each ministry. Please reach out to them if you are interested in serving.

To give to the Resurrection Offering please click here and under Fund select “Offering-Resurrection”

The Children’s Jubilee Fund provides K-12 scholarships to a network of over 20 Christian schools where low-income, city students in the Philadelphia region receive a quality education driven by Christ’s love and academic rigor. Jubilee awards over 450 partial scholarships per year.

The Lord is using Children’s Jubilee Fund to impact the lives of hundreds of families in and around Philadelphia each year. New Life Dresher has partnered with Jubilee for years through the Resurrection Offering. In the last three years alone, you’ve helped us award 20 scholarships! Thank you so much! Please pray for Jubilee in the year to come. Our prayer is that we would be able to increase scholarship giving by 20% in the next academic year.

How to get involved:

  • Sponsor a student
  • Attend a school visit to meet some of the scholars and see the amazing work the schools are doing
  • Host a Jubilee event to alert others of the needs of children in failing schools and the opportunities that Jubilee provides
