Planting Seeds for the Kingdom Campaign 
Ottawa Christian School is thriving! The gardeners who planted this small seed of Christian Education in 1967 had a vision to educate children in a vibrant and creative environment, equipping them for a life of faithful Christian discipleship and service. With the help of many brothers and sisters in Christ, we see God’s faithfulness in carrying out this vision and we are seeing the seeds turn into beautiful plants.
As we continue to be faithful to this planting, we ask that you join us in our 3-year long-term Planting Seeds for the Kingdom Fundraising Campaign. 1 Corinthians 3:8-9 captures our vision well! “The one who plants and the one who waters have one purpose, and they will each be rewarded according to their own labor. For we are co-workers in God’s service; you are God’s field, God’s building.”
Our Planting Seeds for the Kingdom Fundraising Campaign objective is to raise $400,000 over the next 3 years. We aim to create two additional learning spaces in the next 1-3 years to accommodate a stable number of students entering our kindergarten program (we currently have 60-63 students enrolled for the second year in a row!). By building these spaces we will provide a consistent educational experience for these students (and future students) as they move up through the grades. In addition to using funds to build learning spaces, we plan to use funds to reduce our mortgage and strengthen our financial roots.
We are asking for the following support:
Prayer Partners - Please pray for wisdom, discernment, and strength for those who are involved in the planning. We also need prayers for the families that desire Christian education for their children whom we are not able to accommodate (yet).
Seeds - Will you consider committing financially to our campaign? We are grateful to our board of directors at OCS and initial kickstart donors who have generously given to our campaign to date! What an amazing gift to have so many supporters before we officially launch our campaign. We invite you to join them in contributing through monthly donations, yearly donations, or a one-time lump sum. Our goal is to raise $400,000 over the next 3 years. With such an amazing root system that our plant has, we are confident that we will be able to raise this large amount.
Planters - We are part of a large community of believers, each with unique gifts and skills. Please consider how the Lord has gifted you and how you could use that gift for this cause. We need builders, drywallers, electricians, plumbers, painters, landscapers, materials, labor, and so on.
Thank you for taking the time to consider how you can help us further our vision of Christian Education to build His kingdom and to do so for His Glory.
