Banquet Offering
One of Our Most Significant Annual Investments in the Lives of the Materially PoorAn Offering that Transforms Lives.
God uses PEER Servants’ annual Banquet Offering to positively impact the lives of the materially poor in very significant ways. In 2019, we are hoping to raise $100,000+ through the Offering. You don’t have to attend our October 27, 2019 Banquet to participate – just click the adjacent “Donate Now” button. (Progress made in reaching our $100,000 goal is updated daily.) Our Banquet Offering will remain open through November 30, 2019.
You have many options as to how you direct your Banquet Offering. Before you enter your means of payment, click on the drop-down menu that states: “Please direct my Banquet Offering to…”. There are three broad categories:
- Where Most Needed: PEER Servants will use your donation to address its greatest needs.
- Special Project Fund: You can select any of our global partner’s Special Projects (see details below) and we will direct 100% of your donation to them for specific needs they have beyond their daily operations. If we receive more than the amount needed for the project, it will go to the Country Fund for that global partner.
- Country Fund: You can select any of our ten global partners and we will direct 100% of your donation to them to use in their microfinance, education, or youth empowerment programs.
Thank you for participating in our 2019 Banquet Offering! May the prayers of many around the world be answered through your generosity!
