PASTOR’S HEART
RealLife Church Family,
We are so thrilled and grateful for the blessings God has poured out both in and through our church In this season Aimee and I have stood in awe at the lives being changed in our church, community, the next generation and around the world. Together we all have been a part of supporting missionaries in some of the darkest spiritual places on earth Through our ministry partnerships we have been a part of feeding over half a million children every day and responding to global disasters We have been a part of rescuing women and children from human trafficking, building safe houses, providing ministry resources, medical clinics and vehicles for missionaries. We have been a part of reaching Jews with the Gospel in Israel, university students around the world and serving foster kids right here in our community. We have invested in the next generation who are now serving in ministries right here and across the nation. To God be the glory!
When RealLife began 12 years ago, these were all dreams, but today these dreams are becoming reality Many of you give faithfully to help accomplish the mission that God has set before us You have led the way with joyful and irrational generosity The fruit of that will be seen for generations here on earth and for all eternity in heaven
On behalf of the kids you are feeding every day, the women and children that you are rescuing and protecting, as well as the missionaries that you are sending and the generations we are raising, THANK YOU!
Together we will continue to set goals and records for giving over and above the tithe to build the Kingdom of God as we pursue the vision of raising 500 pastors, 300 business leaders and 200 missionaries over the next 20 years. In Acts 1:8 Jesus told the disciples he would send the Holy Spirit to empower them to be His witnesses in Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria and to the ends of the earth. That is still the plan and purpose of the church today.
In this guidebook you will see the heart of RealLife is to make a difference locally, globally and into the future For 12 years, the majority of our giving focus has been global, and we will continue to invest heavily in global missions, projects and partnerships. However, in 2025, your family, friends, neighbors, coworkers, kids and
grandkids are the mission. The main focus of our Kingdom Builders giving will now shift to local as we prepare to break ground on our new auditorium which will help us serve more families right here in our community
Our current goal is to set aside $1,000,000 before breaking ground on the new auditorium. In 2024 we surpassed the $1,000,000 milestone in missions giving for the life of our church. The 2025 Kingdom Builders funds will be invested locally in the new building project, globally through missions and missionary support, as well as the future through strategic staff hires affecting student ministries. Funds specifically given toward missions, missionaries or the building will always be used for those designated purposes.
This year we will all have an opportunity to be a part of something amazing. We are at a very significant moment in the vision for Real Life Church. In the coming years, our impact will be multiplied exponentially around the world because of our strategic investment in the building today. We are incredibly blessed to be part of a church committed to bring Real Hope and Real Change to hurting people. We love you and can’t wait to see what God has in store for 2025. HE IS FAITHFUL!!!

HOW DO I MAKE A COMMITMENT TO BEING A KINGDOM BUILDER?
PLAN, VISION, DREAM
First, make a plan to give. When you have plans and are diligent, it leads to plenty (Proverbs 21:5). God is excited when you have a plan! Whatever the amount is-have the plan in place, work the plan and be obedient to it. Start there.
PLAN VISION DREAM
Next, ask God to give you a vision for what He could do through you with His help. This is beyond what you can do with your natural income. This requires you to take a step of faith. Additionally, Habakkuk 2:2 tells us to write that vision down and pray about it. God will supply all your needs according to His riches in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:19). Stepping out in faith pleases God. When you look at what He has in His hands, it goes to another level.
Lastly, what would be a dream amount you could give? Hold on to it. This number is only between you and God. Watch as each step of faith you take moves you closer to that dream. God can do exceedingly abundantly more than all we can ask for or imagine (Ephesians 3:20).

On September 8, 2024, we came together as a church and gave one day's wage to feed kids around the world through our partnership with Convoy of Hope.
M I R A MIRACLE OFFERING
CEach year, as a church, we set aside one weekend in November to participate in our Miracle Offering, creating a wave of generosity. As Kingdom Builders, this is the biggest weekend of the year. It is an opportunity to give generously and experience a miracle together through our Kingdom Builders' partners. Throughout the year, commit to praying about the part God has for you to play in the Miracle Offering and continue to work your Plan, Vision and Dream for Kingdom Builders!
“Hello RealLife Church,
I am your missionary to Chiang Rai, Thailand. During the week, my team and I run a student center geared toward reaching university students. The majority of our students are Buddhists and have never even heard of the name Jesus! We have been praying to meet students ready to hear about Jesus. Each week, a different student asks us questions like, “What happens when we die?” “If you have two good opportunities, how do you know which opportunity is the right one?” and “I want to know why the world was created and why I am here." What a privilege to be the first to tell them about Jesus, how He has a plan for their life, and why we need Him.
RealLife Church, you have linked arms and walked alongside me from the very beginning! Thank you for your faithful financial support, prayer and investment in the lives of the Thai people. YOU are making a difference!
All honor and glory to God forever and ever!”
