Mustard Seed Gallery

Thanks for checking out our partnership campaign! With Allison recently coming back aboard the ministry team, full-time, our goal is to raise an additional $5,000/month, via 100 new, financial partners by year end. This will assist the Smith’s in meeting their personal financial budget, while also providing additional funds for the ministry’s operating account. (To date, we only lack $1,500/month to be fully funded!)

Having more flexibility in our schedule has opened up time to travel and opportunities for expansion (this year, in Colorado Springs and the extreme Northern Panhandle)! Our spring/summer schedule was full with retreats, youth revivals, and Family Camps, with fall now giving way to Marriage ID’s and mentoring/coaching.

We’re calling this our Mustard Seed Campaign, because we believe God can do much with our little. Typically, we think of this in terms of loaves and fishes, or what God’s supernatural increase does with my small gift. BUT, God can also do much with our littles!

Over the past 15 years, 200+ families have participated in one of our Family Camps. With some sleuthing, we dug up current emails for many of these families and have “commissioned” their children (some over 30 years old, now) to create a Mustard Seed Gallery. Please take a moment to peruse (below).

These masterpieces represent a unique partnership with our ministry, as well. We are making each art piece available as a gift to our ministry partners, as you make a donation. Their gifts begetting yours!

Here’s how the Mustard Seed Campaign works…

  1. Pray - Ask the Lord if BirdseyeVu is a ministry He’d have you come alongside.

  2. Determine - If the answer to question #1 is “yes”… What is your present capacity to give? Would it bring you joy to help our ministry expand? Monthly support is preferable, as it allows our ministry board to provide more specific budgeting direction. However, if larger, one-time donations work best for you, is there a specific time of year you’d like us to reach out?

  3. Give - For online, credit card donations, click on the “donate” button below. Please enter your information and giving instructions into the secure, encrypted form. (our donation platform is Givebutter). If you prefer to write a check, please make payable to BirdsyeVu, and mail to the address at the bottom of this page.

  4. Select - Once you’ve completed step three, select your masterpiece from the gallery below (use arrows to peruse). This links to an email where you may indicate your selection. Please reference the number of your art piece, along with an alternate. We will mail your hand-crafted treasure, along with a fridge magnet.

We are so grateful for your prayerful and tangible support of BirdseyeVu. Together, we accomplish our mission… equipping the Family for abundant living!

Blessings!

Rich & Allison

*BirdseyeVu does not profit from events or individual ministry. Asking only “pass through” costs for camps/retreats allows us to reach many couples/families who would otherwise be unable to afford it. Because of this, our operating income and salaries are provided by ministry partners… friends like you!
