"Their" Chair

As Foothills Community Church gets to the last stages of construction on our new building we are going to be asking people to help cover some of the cost to equip the building (chairs, children's equipment, furnishings, sound, lighting,video, etc.) Sort of a mini capital campaign, if you will.
We are hoping to raise an additional $750,000. Basically here is what I will be challenging people to consider over the next 2 weeks: I will be asking people to purchase chairs for the new auditorium and also chairs for our new location in Toccoa.
Obviously the chairs won't cost $750,000, but it is an easy visual reminder of what we are giving to. Here is the breakdown, we are going to ask people to purchase 1,500 chairs at a cost of $500 each. But here's the key---they aren't purchasing that chair for themselves, but for someone who isn't even attending Foothills yet. In essence we believe that when we step out in faith and sacrifice for the sake of others, God will send the people to fill those chairs. They are purchasing chairs for the family member or friend who doesn't know Christ yet.
Pray and ask God how many chairs you should purchase. Some people could easily purchase 100 or more, others maybe 1 or 2. Every chair counts because every chair represents someone who will have a chance to hear the Gospel of Christ.
