We are committed to saturating our region with the Good News of Jesus and we know we share that commitment with many other ministries. We wanted to come alongside and partner with those ministries to support their Kingdom efforts because we believe that God is deeply and powerfully moving through those efforts. With that desire, grants were awarded to a number of partners to support them in this common mission. 

Here is what 716 Ministries shared about the grant awarded to them:

"The grant issued to 716 Ministries will be used in conjunction with our development plans for the Loretto Ministry Center. The LMC is a former Catholic Church complex in Buffalo’s West Side. We’re working on stabilizing and developing the building with collaborative partners to address community needs. While the details are still being determined, we are exploring partners that will aid in healthcare, education, childcare and housing. This investment will allow us to take the initial steps to create a site plan and architectural plans to help determine next steps."
