Answering The Call
Q: Why is the campaign called “Answering The Call”?
A: “Answering” is an action word that effectively depicts what PVAG has been
doing and will need to do so God’s mandate can be fulfilled.
“Call” reminds us that it was God who has called PVAG to this project.
Q: How long is the campaign?
A: Two years. The campaign will begin today, November 11, 2007 and continue through November 18, 2009.
Q: What’s the two-year goal?
A: $400,000

Q: When do the commitments start?
A: Since today is the official beginning for the campaign, an individual can begin
fulfilling their commitments today. Some have chosen to give their commitments
weekly, monthly, or in one lump-sum. The choice is really up to the individual,
but the campaign officially begins today.
Q: What am I expected to give?
A: We only expect people to give what God tells them to give. Our hope is that the
people of PVAG will ask God what they should commit to the campaign.
Remember, it's not about equal giving; it's about equal sacrifice.
Q: What was the Leadership Commitment Dinner?
A: The Leadership Commitment dinner was held on November 2, 2007, for the
Elders, Deacons, and Pastoral Staff of PVAG to commit to the Answering The
Call campaign. The program featured thoughts and comments by Campaign
Chairman, Harold Ferguson and Vice-Chair, Dick Scholton. Randy and Patty
Bracken shared a testimony of God's amazing blessings in response to a gift of
faith they had made for the roof offering. Peter Joudry, campaign consultant,
also shared some encouraging and challenging remarks. Pastor Jim concluded
the speaking part with a short message entitled, “The Judah Spirit”. A time of
prayer was held followed by leaders being asked to respond with their two-year
commitment. After everything was calculated the leadership of PVAG had
committed to $120,000 to Answering The Call.
Q: What is the first fruits offering?
A: During Celebration Sunday we will receive a special “first fruits” offering toward the
overall goal of the campaign. Today's offering can be the first of your two-year
commitment, or a gift over and beyond that. The choice is yours.
Q: Will there be days of celebration throughout the campaign?
