A modern version of the miracle of the Five Loaves and Two Fishes…

A modern version of the miracle of the Five Loaves and Two Fishes…

Donors LOVE matching funds. Who doesn’t want to double the impact they make to charities that are dear to their hearts? A couple who has been very supportive of FLL always donated at our annual gala, whether they could attend the event or not, because they knew we usually had matching funds at the gala and they wanted to take advantage of it. When we told them we didn’t have any matching fund at the gala this year as it was hard to find matching fund donors, they came up with a brilliant idea. They appealed to a group of their friends to build a big matching fund for our purpose!

What touched us most is that the wife has been fighting a serious illness. Despite her illness, she gave what she had, just like the little boy in Jesus’ miracle of five loaves and two fishes, and persevered in inviting her friends to contribute to the matching fund. Her gift did multiply! In the end, over 20 people responded to their appeal, donating over $50,000 in support of our Foundation Builders (Monthly Donors) campaign. Praise be to God!

This Christmas, would you become part of this “Five Loaves and Two Fishes”” miracle, as your gift to Jesus, so that He can multiply your offering to benefit many others? Our good Lord will accept whatever we offer and will multiply before our eyes!

Gift to Jesus, and through Jesus…

Just as the Yonder Star which had gathered many shepherds and the kings, bringing them to Jesus 2000 years ago, this couple has also gathered their friends in a team effort to make the same mission possible today.  Would you respond positively to this appeal to become a part of this team effort to give the gift of Christ to this world, which is in most need of God’s merciful love?
 

The three kings offered gifts to Jesus to pay homage to Him. Please offer a special gift to Jesus, and through Jesus to others now.

雙倍善款的故事

現代的「五餅二魚」奇蹟

善長都喜愛配對基金。有誰不希望自己支持的慈善組織能籌得雙倍善款呢?

有一對十分支持《生命恩泉》的夫婦,每年無論出席與否,都會捐款予《生命恩泉》晚宴項目,原因是他們知道週年晚宴通常都有配對基金,而他們希望藉此令捐款倍增。當他們得悉2018年的晚宴因沒有善長捐出配對基金,而未能增加善款數字時,他們忽發奇想 – 主動向自己的朋友呼籲,組織一個配對基金,好使《生命恩泉》得到更多支持!

最讓人感動的是那位太太雖正與病魔搏鬥中,仍不辭勞苦,將自己(與丈夫)可奉獻的都奉獻出來,就像「五餅二魚」中的小孩傾盡所有,與眾分享。他們的奉獻亦因此而倍增,超過二十位朋友響應他們的呼籲,籌募得超過五萬元以支持每月捐款計劃的配對基金!感謝天主!

你希望成為「五餅二魚」奇蹟中的一份子嗎?將你的禮物交給耶穌,好讓祂把你的奉獻倍增,令更多人受惠。就讓我們一同見證主耶穌所行的奇蹟吧!

正如二千年前白冷之星引領賢士及牧羊人到耶穌跟前,配對基金的發起夫婦亦召集了他們的朋友,以群體的力量,在今天實踐同樣的使命。你願意回應他們的呼籲,跟他們一起把基督這禮物帶給極需要天父慈愛的世界嗎?

三位賢士帶著禮物去朝拜新生王。在跟隨白冷之星的旅途上,邀請您也為主耶穌獻上一份禮物,也藉此透過耶穌,把禮物帶給他人。
