Jesus’ Heart for the HUNGRY

Dear Awakening Church family,

I am constantly amazed at the generosity of our Awakening Family, by the way you have followed God’s calling to be generous givers of not only your finances but of your time as well. I am blessed to oversee a team of volunteers who, twice a month, gather to serve families in our community that face food insecurity. We wouldn’t be able to serve these families without our partners at City Team Ministries.

This week we welcome Hermie Smit as our Guest Speaker in Week 2 of our Love Local Series. Hermie has been with CityTeam for over 24 years and is the Director of CityTeam in the Neighborhood and Church Engagement. Hermie is not only passionate for ensuring that people are physically fed, but spiritually as well.

Join us this Sunday and be sure to check out our Love Local page HERE, breaking down all the guest speakers, next steps, and further resources.

Local Outreach Coordinator

We believe Del Mar High School isn’t just a place to meet on Sundays, but a community to serve and love.

Awakening has a yearly giving fund to help resource Del Mar High School students and their families experiencing significant needs throughout the school year.  Alongside school administration, the local outreach team provides resources with great intention and care that alleviate short-term crises. This year our goal is $35,000, which will continue to allow us to serve our Del Mar High School family, and to do so in the name of Jesus.

Last year’s impact from your giving…

  • Over 24 vulnerable families served
  • Financial assistance for families struggling with food insecurity and housing crisis
  • Day care assistance for teen mom seeking diploma
  • Replacement of stolen bike for student needing daily transportation to school
  • Housing assistance for refugee families
  • Job assistance for students to help pay for long-term family needs
  • Crisis care following apartment complex fire

Donations may be made by selecting the “Special Projects – Del Mar Fund,” with up to $35,000 dedicated to the Del Mar Giving Fund. All donations outside of this period or in excess of $35,000 during this time period are allocated to the Unrestricted General Fund and will be used as approved by the Leadership Council.

We exist to awaken this generation to new life in Jesus Christ.
