Dear Friends,

Our Vision for Sustainability

The team at Sanctuary First is deeply grateful to the 120 individuals who have performed the "heavy lifting" this past year, helping us establish a solid financial base. Our strategy is simple: over a three-year period, we aim to become entirely self-funding. We seek to have our core costs to be met from within our own community.

In 2025, our community covered one-third of our costs, with the remainder supported by grants and generous individual gifts.

In 2026, our goal is to recruit 150 new financial contributors while maintaining the vital support of our existing givers.

May 2026 Giving Campaign: A Journey of Prayer and Praise

We are designating the entire month of May as our Giving Month. To root this campaign in faith, we began with a Festival of Prayer on May 2nd, seeking God’s guidance for our future. We will then journey through the month together, concluding our campaign with a celebratory Festival of Praise & Song on May 30th.

Our specific target is to recruit 5 new contributors every day throughout May.

How You Can Help?

If we can enlist 5 new supporters daily - and if these 5 added up to a combined gift of £100 per day - we will increase our monthly income by £3,000. This would allow us to match the generous three-year grant we currently receive. By sustaining this growth into 2027/28, Sanctuary First will become a fully self-funding community of worshipping Christians.

Can I ask you to take a moment to visit our Giving Page? 

Become one of the five a day: Donate

Please prayerfully consider if you can become "one of the daily five," or if you might recommend Sanctuary First to someone else.

Additionally, you may wish to consider a lasting legacy by leaving a gift to Sanctuary First in your will. You can find helpful advice and details about legacy giving on our website on the giving page.

Thank you for being part of this "building project." Together, we are ensuring that this "digital cathedral" remains a light for all the generations still to come.

If you already give regularly, thank you very much for your continued support in Sanctuary First, we greatly appreciate it.

Yours in Christ

Albert

Minister of Sanctuary First
