The Crazy Love Campaign is a 17-month initiative to do something crazy for God. The plan is for a total of $3.5 million to be given by Long Hollow’s members and regular attenders in 5 offerings: two in 2009 and three in 2010. We will not ask for pledges. We are just asking that each family decide what for them is a demonstration of crazy love for God. Offering #4 is on August 22… What is God calling you to give?

Crazy Love in Uganda
Crazy Love Offering #4: $650,000
Family Goal for Offering #4: $400
Expanding our campuses to keep reaching more people: $350,000 (54%)
- Hendersonville Campus – New Student Building
- Gallatin Campus – New Worship Center and More Parking
- White House Campus – Land for a Permanent Location
The Hendersonville Student Building is planned to be 46,000 square feet and will be constructed at approximately $80 per square foot. Long Hollow continues its commitment to put money into ministry and not elaborate buildings.
As Long Hollow continues to reach more and more people for Christ, we need to provide the necessary space for them on our campuses. As with Offerings 1, 2, and 3, each campus will be given to a different project.
Two orphan villages in Uganda for approximately 250 AIDS orphans: $200,000 (31%)
Our first three offerings built an orphan village (including homes, church, school, clinic and guest house) in Jeremie, Haiti for 300 children and will soon build Pastor Moise’s church campus in Port-Au-Prince, including a new church, homes for 84 kids and a school for 250 of the area’s poorest kids.
Inoculations for our orphans in care: $20,000 (3%)
As children enter into orphan care, their emotional and physical needs are great. These inoculations will provide much-needed protection from life-threatening diseases.
Long Hollow Adoption Ministry, assisting families in the adoption of orphaned children: $10,000 (1.5%)
Our adoption ministry is up and running! Through it, Long Hollow families can get coaching through the adoption process, get encouragement and support during the process and after your child(ren) enters your home, and receive financial assistance. The Long Hollow Adoption Ministry is for families seeking to adopt both domestically and internationally.
Live Translation Equipment for our Services: $20,000 (3%)
In many ways international missions opportunities have reached our doorstep as people from around the world have found a new home in Middle Tennessee. This equipment will give us the ability to translate our services into another language in a live environment for people who do not understand English.
Funding key partnerships related to ministering in Christ’s name to those in need: $50,000 (7.5%)
