What if I don’t want to buy anything, but still want to support you?

Awesome! We always appreciate financial and prayer support. If you would like to give financially, there are a few ways you could give (other than buying an item). Our biggest area of need is currently in monthly support. No matter if it’s $10 or $150 a month, every little bit will help us in our ministry efforts. More specific information on financial donations can be found here.

If you’d like to know how to support us in prayer, please contact us to receive our prayer updates.

Do you still need monthly support?

YES! We are still in need of monthly pledges (individuals, families or couples who pledge to give a monthly amount). That is, in fact, what keeps our ministry going. The proceeds from this shop goes towards special ministry-related projects that we might not otherwise be able to participate in. For instance, we may put the extra funds towards a Christian artist conference we’d like to attend, or to buy some extra art materials for the ministry. When special projects arise, we’ll be sure to update our blog.

Are my purchases tax-deductible?

Unfortunately at this time, we are not set up to give tax receipts for each purchase made in our shop. However, if you give would like to support us directly through GEM, you will be receipted for each donation.
