In simplest terms, it is Hope's radical gesture of generosity to our local community and beyond. It is built on the precept of Jesus' parable of the minas (pronounced my-na), calling us to multiply and invest in God's kingdom. During a weekend service, each Hope attendee received an envelope bearing cash--with various amounts of cash placed in each one--ranging in increments from $10 to $500. In total, $50,000 was distributed throughout all four services. The congregation has now been asked to go out and "multiply their minas" however they choose, with all profits will be returned as donations to benefit a pre-selected list of charitable organizations. The organizations are: Wake InterFaith Hospitality Network, M25 Foundation, Raleigh Rescue Mission, House of Hope, Hope4Haiti Foundation, With Love From Jesus, Alliance of AIDS Services - Carolina, Healing Place of Wake County, Urban Hope, and Ship of Zion. Our event was a Mother/Daughter Tea. The girls (ranging in age from 9 months to 5 years old) were treated to crafts and various princess activities while the moms were able to participate in a silent gift basket auction (thank you again for your contribution, Anne!) and refreshed and rejuvenated as mothers through two wonderful guest speakers. We were able to take our mina money and multiply it 20 fold. I will keep you posted as to the overall funds raised. Thanks again! Sara Anne-
