WHERE YOUR DONATIONS GO

 Where Your Donations Go

“Give, and it shall be given unto you…” — Luke 6:38

At the Sacred Heart of Jesus Charismatic Old Catholic Church (SHJCOCC), we believe that every act of giving is an act of love. Your generosity is not just a donation — it is a sacred participation in the mission of Christ to heal, save, and transform lives.

We see every contribution, no matter how small, as a seed of love sown into the fertile ground of God’s Kingdom. Your support helps us live out our calling: to restore the true Catholic faith, to bring the light of the Gospel to every heart, and to serve with compassion those in need.

In the spirit of transparency and gratitude, this page helps you understand where your love goes and how your giving fuels our ministry.

1. Evangelism & Missions

The heartbeat of our church is evangelism. We are called to proclaim the saving love of Jesus Christ to the ends of the earth — through word, sacrament, and the power of the Holy Spirit.

Your giving helps us:

·         Print and distribute evangelism tracts, devotional materials, and Bibles.

·         Organize community crusades, prayer revivals, and outdoor missions.

·         Support mission outposts, local parishes, and small Christian communities across Africa.

·         Reach the unreached through radio broadcasts, street evangelism, and online ministry.

When you give, you are not just funding programs — you are sending light into darkness and transforming lives with the Gospel.

2. Charity & Community Outreach

We are deeply committed to living the mercy of the Sacred Heart of Jesus by caring for the poor, the sick, and the broken-hearted. Every month, the church extends hands of compassion to those in distress — not as charity alone, but as a ministry of love.

Your love goes to:

·         Feeding the hungry and supporting widows, orphans, and vulnerable families.

·         Hospital and prison visitation ministries.

·         Disaster relief and emergency aid when communities are in crisis.

·         Helping students, single mothers, and struggling believers find hope and dignity.

When you give, you help make real the compassion of Christ — “For I was hungry, and you gave Me something to eat…” (Matthew 25:35).

3. Church Growth & Maintenance

The Church of Christ is not only spiritual but also visible — and maintaining that visible witness requires faithful stewardship.

Your gifts sustain:

·         Worship spaces where believers gather to celebrate the Eucharist and the Sacraments.

·         Sacred vessels, liturgical vestments, and altar furnishings that dignify our worship.

·         The support of clergy, missionaries, and lay ministers serving in remote areas.

·         The upkeep of church equipment, administrative tools, and mission vehicles.

Your giving ensures that the light of the Church never dims, that the altar remains standing, and that the work of ministry continues unhindered.

4. Education & Spiritual Formation

We believe that a church rooted in truth must invest in sound teaching. From children’s catechism to adult formation and clerical training, your support helps us teach the timeless truths of the faith with clarity and conviction.

Through your giving, we can:

·         Provide catechetical and theological materials for believers.

·         Train seminarians, deacons, and priests in sound doctrine and pastoral practice.

·         Offer retreats, spiritual direction, and leadership formation programs.

·         Promote biblical literacy and doctrinal depth across all parishes.

When you give, you help preserve the “faith once delivered to the saints” (Jude 1:3).

5. Media & Digital Evangelism

The world has gone digital, and so has our mission. We use modern tools to spread the unchanging Gospel.

Your love helps us:

·         Maintain our church website and online presence for global evangelism.

·         Stream liturgies, sermons, and educational programs to believers around the world.

·         Create and share inspirational content, prayers, and teaching materials on social media.

·         Develop mobile-friendly digital platforms for online giving, discipleship, and prayer.

Through your giving, you make it possible for the Church to meet souls where they are — on screens, in homes, and in hearts.

6. Stewardship with Integrity

We hold ourselves accountable before God and our members to handle every donation with integrity and prayerful responsibility.

All funds received are carefully directed to their designated purposes and periodically reviewed by our financial and pastoral councils. We uphold the highest standards of honesty and transparency in all our financial dealings, ensuring that your love truly reaches those it is meant to bless.

When you give, you partner with a church that values both spiritual power and administrative purity.

7. Our Promise to You

Every gift given to the Sacred Heart of Jesus Charismatic Old Catholic Church is received with gratitude, prayed over, and used for God’s glory. We promise to:

·         Use your contributions responsibly and for the advancement of Christ’s mission.

·         Keep you informed about our ongoing projects and ministries.

·         Continue to serve faithfully, knowing we are stewards of your trust and God’s grace.

 A Final Word from Bishop Gabriel O. Obiano

“Giving is not about money — it’s about love. Every seed you sow becomes a testimony of faith, a flame of mercy, and a voice that proclaims the Gospel. In giving, we share the very heartbeat of the Sacred Heart of Jesus.”

Thank You for Sharing in This Mission of Love

Your love makes all this possible. Together, we are building a community of faith, hope, and charity — one that reflects the mercy of Jesus to the world.

“The love of Christ urges us on.” — 2 Corinthians 5:14
