BIG GIVE 2024
Loving our Neighbors

“Let no one seek his own good, but the good of his neighbor.” - 1 Cor. 10:24

BIG GIVE is a special missions offering collected each December by the church family at Waypoint. These gifts reflect the generous hearts of people, giving over and above their regular contributions, into a special cause for gospel impact.

Waypoint’s focus for this year is to love our neighbors in our own backyard. BIG GIVE 2024 will support THREE AREAS within our geographical area of ministry. Discover how your gifts will benefit kingdom work in our backyard and places where we hold spiritual responsibility, now and in the future.

THE HANGAR

BIG GIVE 2024 Mission Offering Supporting
The hangar in brookshire

The Hangar Unity Center is a nonprofit in our backyard in the city of Brookshire. This ministry exists as a broader part of Eyes on Me, Inc. launched by Bobby Herring (Tre9) to provide various programs to help specifically reach the community of Brookshire. From street evangelism and discipleship, to student mentoring in job skills, to Hip Hop Hope that meets twice a month, and even the challenges of find insecurity in the area.

Waypoint has partnered for years in small ways, but in recent years we’ve begun to champion a regular rhthym of 4th Friday Food Distribution and plugging in to support needs via our annual Serve Sunday opportunity (this year on April 27, 2025). Big Give 2024 is excited to provide funds to support this great mission in our neighborhood.

Funds will support:

  • Programming needs for monthly ministries

  • Spiritual investments in the lives of kids & teens

  • Repair projects in a population facing the greatest needs in the Brookshire community

NERY’S PROMISE

BIG GIVE 2023 Mission offering supporting
Nery’s Promise in Richmond

Nery’s Promise is a local nonprofit poured from the heart of Nery Salazar. The mission of Nery’s Promise is to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ with families of Richmond, Texas through education, meals, and practical support. Through weekly and seasonal events, children are given the opportunity to experience the love of Jesus through educational support, warm meals and fun activities, while helping them feel loved and find the hope, faith and support they need to thrive.

Because of Nery’s own story of God’s rescue and provision, she efforts to keep a promise made to God to extend His love to the children and families around her. Volunteers faithfully serve over 1,000 kids and parents locally each year. Waypoint moved to partner with Nery’s Promise this fall by offering a regular opportunity to serve every 4th Saturday morning in various opportunities in the community. We can love our neighbors in Richmond through our Big Give support and our partnership on Serve Sunday (coming Sunday, April 27, 2005).

Funds will support:

  • After-School programming resources

  • Gospel investments in kids and teens

  • Meals for those in the community

LOCAL COLLABORATIVE CHURCH PLANT

big give 2024 mission offering supporting
A LOCAL, FUTURE CHURCH PLANT

Healthy disciples have a desire to make new disciples. Healthy churches have a desire to plant new churches.

A calling from God to start a new church is not the faint of heart, yet those called long to find new ways to reach those without Christ with the gospel. New churches statistically see more baptisms and can have a fresh approach to reaching those who don’t yet know Christ.

Did you know that Waypoint Church is a merger of two church plants? Both of our pastors took a leap of faith, desiring to be obedient to the call of God to plant a church. They know first-hand the highs and lows of starting a new work in their own unique stories.

God longs to give Waypoint a heart and passion to reproduce itself into another flourishing congregation, and we believe we aren’t called to do this alone. In 2024, our pastors began to meet and pray with other fellow churches in our area to dream about a collaborative church planting effort.

The Grove Church and Renaissance Church are both churches planted within the last 10 years around us, and we want to see God multiply our efforts in the years ahead to birth a brand-new work TOGETHER. This work is a commitment to reach new neighbors coming to our backyard with the gospel through a sustaining, autonomous Christ-centered church somewhere in Fort Bend County.

Funds will support:

  • Seed money for a future collaborative church plant

  • Resources for training potential planter

BIG GIVE 2024 FAQs

  • Why Big Give 2024? This is a great question. Waypoint believes in working in gospel causes happening outside the walls of our church. Big Give is a unique way to partner with ministries like these to make an EXTRA difference beyond normal mission giving.

  • How does Big Give 2024 work? Big Give is a collective way to simply give and grow our heart for missions as a church. Most donors consider these gifts over and above what they already give to Waypoint, enabling faithful stewardship and true generosity. Gifts collected over this month will be equally dispersed to each of the three giving areas that are shared above.

  • Why The Hangar, Nery’s Promise, and a future Church Plant? Waypoint Church already links arms as Gospel Partners with the first two ministries. Every month we invite our people to jump into a 4th Weekend Mission with either of these two. As well, we plan to coordinate our efforts on SERVE SUNDAY 2025 with both, so this year you not only can give, but you can GO.

    Efforts in Church Planting should be near to our hearts. Waypoint is a merger of two church plants, so we believe this is a reflection of disciple-making and reproducing. One of the greatest ways we can love our neighbors as a church is to partner with God in seeing new reflections of His bride born to reach neighbors for generations. Our pastors began prayerful conversations around a collaborative church plant with a few other churches in 2024. Part of this effort involves seeding dollars now to ready our ability to join God in a work to come that we can’t yet see.

  • When does Big Give 2024 end? Big Give 2024 runs from Sunday, December 1 - December 31.
