omg congrats on meeting your goal!! i hope ppl continue to donate as long as it's open and you folks can use those extra funds for whatever you need! ❤️
I'm an atheist who grew up as a preacher's kid in a conservative (mostly) white rural and fairly poor church. As much as I dislike religion for the ways it impacted me personally, I have also seen firsthand the kind of community and mutual aid you're talking about that is honestly really hard to replace when you leave. This is the kind of thing churches should do, and I fully support it.
@@Dank_Enginewhat on earth did you come across that made you believe after 2 decades of non belief? What made you decide that faith was a reliable pathway to truth?
@@decegrease Man, God chased me down. I wasn't even looking. I fast on a bi weekly basis. Three to five day every other week. And one day I had an experience. I wept. I saw my entire family. Not just me. My father. Everybody. And somehow I saw Jesus in all of us. I can't explain it. It just happened one day. But, when I say God chased me down. He'd been sending messengers my whole life. Both good Christian people and bad. And I think I had to experience the bad Christians to know how to be a good one. And during this period of fasting. God was everywhere. He was at work in my colleagues. And he was in the music I listened to. And he's always been calling me. This time I listened. I stopped running. I hope this means something to someone. but, I'm not an orthodox Christian. I'm a contemplative, meaning I meditate, which is considered heretical. It doesn't bother me, because I follow Jesus. Not the church. My practice involves silence, scripture. Fasting. Long walks. Reflection. Being at peace. Stillness. The bible literally says, "Be Still and Know That I Am God". It's right there in the text.
@@ryeman7980 as someone who’s currently unemployed. I can’t take it with me when I go. So if u got it spend it. Just Be safe not greedy. Billionaires…. Lookin at you.
Your video on Liberation Theology made me feel not-crazy about my combination of religious and political beliefs. I'm beyond happy to give back to a church doing the good work of taking care of our siblings in humanity and in Christ. Thank you for calling attention to this. I pray you see the support you need.
Congratulations on passing your goal. Thanks to everyone coming together now you are able to continue to be a part of and support the community you are in.
Hey Bill, Thank you for asking for help!! What a powerful gesture. TWO HOURS AND YOU ALREADY RAISED $20k!!! you have an incredible community my gosh. Anywho, I went to donate $3 and they said i had to donate $5 minimum. I guess I’m gonna have to let others pitch in this time. Sharing the link on my socials!
IKR!! I went to donate a couple hundo bills, and the gofundme said "goal reached," so I donated anyway, hopefully they can get some tvs and a PS4 or something for the kids 🤣🤣👌👌
The reality is most churches are doing as well as their local community and everyones struggling. Sending what I can afford. Your community deserves to have this. Thank you for not being scared to ask for help when this much is at stake.
My ass is broke as hell so I am leaving the video watching a few times, commenting, liking and all that. Not sure if it helps these kinds of videos but here we go.
Donated! The Black church kept my dad's family going during hard times, even if I have since become agnostic. The Institution may be flawed but good people are good people. Donated what I could. Best of luck!
I work at a food bank way down south that supports a lot of church run food pantries and soup kitchens, and while most days I feel like there’s often nothing I can do to help with larger systemic problems, I can absolutely help with this one. This is what direct action is all about. This is what the church should be about.
I very rarely go to my church, except for holidays, weddings, and unfortunately funerals. So, to see your church actively giving back to the community really gives me faith that some churches really are for the people and their spiritual and physical well being.
2024 got to be a wild year if I'm donating to a church, but here we are just being wild as hell. Glad to give a little back to something you put your heart into, thank you for what you do.
I'm from the south, grew up in a small town church then went on to one in the blackest neighborhood in the country. I am no longer a believer but I know the good that a good church can do despite my personal feelings about "faith". I've been a viewer of this channel for a while and would gladly donate to this cause. There are more of us like me than you think brother, keep doing what you do.
I dont get paid until next Friday, but I have got it bookmarked. As an atheist, I believe that everyone should be able to have whatever relationship they want with religion; this cuts both ways, especially for a church that is a pillar of mutual aid and community
I only got $40, but this is an important cause and I got nothing better to spend it on. I'm praying for y'all to make a full recovery and help more people. God bless you, brother 🙏 ❤
@@danielthetornado that says more than you know friend. Don’t diminish it by I only have 40. You are putting 40$ in the hands of someone in real crisis with peoples livelihood on the line.
Just donated. Agnostic former Catholic, I'm fed up with the Christian institution, but I can recognize the material reality of a church within its community.
The minimum amount that can be donated is $5. Done. Keep helping the community. And in the future they should look into commercial property insurance that covers repairs. That way if this happens again the whole cost won’t be on them bc they’re already paying into the resolution.
Oh man, not the boiler. A place I rented, the landlady said if the boiler went she was kicking us all out and redeveloping the building, because it would be years of rent to replace the boiler. Going to follow your link…
clicked on this vid, opened the gofundme right at the beginning…seeing the amount donated change over the course of like, 7 minutes was insane. yall are all amazing. gotchu bill, hope this works out 💜
My church is very similar, we do a a lot of community outreach! In the past we have done a summer clothing drive, back to school book bags, & a food drive. For our next board meeting, I will bring some of the activities you mentioned as additional opportunities (I really like the toiletries and toy giveaway, we have a lot of young parents in the area who could benefit greatly. Thanks for the work your church continues to do for Christ & the community!
I was watching this & was about to send my last $2 til Friday cuz i was set w/ food & gas. Then i saw i got my side gig work pay mid me checking the gofundme link. LOOK AT GOD!!! Had to drop a $20 on it. GOOD LUCK W/ THE CHURCH!!!
It’s amazing to see how quickly you were able to reach your goal in such short time! It sounds like your church is a huge asset to the community so it’s a blessing to see that y’all can continue on your mission 🙏🏽💕
As much as religion has harmed me throughout my life, I recognize the good it can sometimes do. I wish more churches were like yours bill, I hope you can keep giving to the community.
I’m an atheist, but I still understand that community is SO important. I have an issue with churches taking advantage of ppl and this being one that gives back helps me feel WAY more comfortable to help out bc community is SO valuable! Thanks for all your hard work.
Our church did similar food ministries in our community too. But when we were looking for a new location because the place we were renting from would no longer be available, we had to merge with another church. Praying yall get the financial support so you can continue to be the hands and feet of Christ in your community.
Just listened to CBC Radio talk about the sharp rise in food bank use here in Ontario, Canada today, and then I drove past our local church that handles the food bank in our small town. There were various people coming and going and also getting a hot meal like the ones you talked about. Happy to throw in a few dollars, I don't go to church, but this good work that needs doing.
I'm from philly but I moved with my pops to Wisconsin in highschool. We were deep in the winter and we couldn't afford propane and our power went out for a week. People deserve to be warm so I'll chip in. I hope the church sticks around.
Any organization actually helping people is getting my support. Thanks for sharing and I hope you guys are able to keep being a positive impact on your community.
Donated what I can. Thank you Bill for all the work you do for your community, and I’d love it if you could pass that message on to those you work with in those endeavors.
congrats on reaching the goal! i hope everything is taken care of, it sounds like your church does a lot of good work, and it's nice to hear about a church doing good things for once
👍🏿! My first church was a storefront church in the middle of the hood in Detroit. Tiny church, BIG impact on the community. The church got closed down due to the lack of funding. The community went under afterwards. There are churches putting their hands to the plow and they are struggling to stay afloat, often times getting overshadowed or pushed out by the popular false prophets and for profit churches.
An atheist raised in a Hispanic catholic household, but far from lost on me the good some of these church programs mean to people that depend on them. Can’t donate immediately but can at the start of next month if that can still help. Would love to contribute.
I think some people underestimate the importance having a community and one of the easiest ways to do that is joining a church. It's one of the things I miss about church but then again I was LDS. A church that helps out their community is huge. I am on rough times, but I will try to donate when I get paid.
Growing up a queer Catholic was hard! It impacted me a lot, and not in a good way. I didn't so much leave the faith as I was made to understand I wasn't welcome and snuck a little God with me on my way out the door. And what that taught me is that it's people who make a community. If people form a community to do actual good in this world for others I don't care if they're an anarchist collective or a liberal charity or a Christian church. Community is important, a community doing good is good, that's what *I* learned in church, and I'm happy to help.
Don’t have much at the moment but kicked in a bit. Found you through FD and appreciate the work you do, and how you feel about your church. I’ve served some time on church council and we are replacing boilers soon and I feel your pain!
I’m not particularly religious these days, but I understand the importance a lot of smaller churches have for the community. The church I was raised in does all kinds of toy/food/supplies drives for the community. I’m happy to do my part so your community continues to have access to those blessings.
If I have any spiritual beliefs then I haven't discovered them yet, but I'm a big fan of you and community support. Thank you for the Pure Hell video. That was amazing. Love from Philly, proud to contribute.
Commenting for the algorithm. I genuinely hope that your church and your community are able to persevere through these hardships. You and your church are doing what Jesus would be wanting everyone to do. Much love.
I care far less about why someone does a deed than how, and I trust your word. I only have 20 bucks to spare and I hope it helps. I'll smoke on my thoughts and prayers til Friday 🌬
Church-run food pantries have and continue to help me make it through the lean times. I have my own feelings on The Church as a whole but you will never catch me coming for the churches that make good use of their tax exempt status by actually helping their communities.
These are the communities I’m happy I get introduced to. I can be plenty spiritual and non denominational but respect and will support these real causes.
I have my issues with churches, but alot of them do good work to try and help homeless/poor people. Happy to see the gofundme raised what it needed! 💕💕
There aren't bona fide churches around that aren't just middle class social clubs, but I'm willing to believe that yours is one of the rare gems that do the work. Donated 5. Good luck, I hope the Church survives Christmas.
Shared the link! I hope y'all get twice your goal to continue all of the mutual aid work y'all do. I haven't been to church in years, but I know that Black churches, despite problems with Christianity, have been important pillars of our communities and essential for organizing and other efforts. ❤
my local church food bank helped me keep just a little bit more food in my belly as a kid and that makes a difference. its hard for single moms and we gotta help and give back
Couldn’t donate much but happy to donate what I can. Not really a church guy but I understand how they can sometimes genuinely help communities in need. As long as the end result is people actually getting help, I’m more than happy to give what I can
God bless you brother, I am going to try and spread the word and get some donations from the Jacksonville FL, Orthodox Christian community! Your Church will be in my prayers☦
I've seen churches do amazing things in their community, at the end of the day the only thing that matters is people are getting the material help they need. Got you!
I'm from Argentina, churches here play a massive role in the social fabric. They help addicts, feed and house people, bring literacy to the poorest sectors and much more. As much as I dislike organized religion I can't deny how important they are, they need your help even if you are secular.
They are so important as a leftist force too that during the Dirty War they were the target of the Junta and many pastors and volunteers were disappeared just for believing in helping others.
Glad you met the goal. Community is so important. It doesn’t seem like you’re holding aid hostage for proselytizing, and I’m glad you’re there filling a need that I think our taxes should (but don’t for some reason) cover.
Our building is 103 years old, and we are having issues with our radiators and boiler. We're considering switching over to forced air. I'll try to do what I can because we are going through a similar issue. Praying for y'all and hope to contribute too
Never been a big churchgoer, but I'm a believer. My mom was never really into organized religion and is more spiritual. But I know there are good churches out there that serve as safe havens and pillars in their communities. Sounds like yours is one of those. Happy to give a lil something in support
what you guys do at your spot is incredible work and ion gotta hear much else than that to pitch in. we’re in desperate need of people that are not only kind hearted enough to serve their community in these trying times, but also equipped with the recourses to do it. hopefully yall can continue holding it down for your community ❤️
Happy to help, even if it’s small. I’ve been in the hospital a lot over the course of the last two months, your content has honestly kept me engaged and grounded this whole time while sick. I’m from the south and I know the difference a church can make within a community.

I've seen churches do amazing things in their community, at the end of the day the only thing that matters is people are getting the material help they need. Got you!
A donation for the church and a comment for the algorithm. Good luck to ya bro 🙏🏾
I'm from Argentina, churches here play a massive role in the social fabric. They help addicts, feed and house people, bring literacy to the poorest sectors and much more. As much as I dislike organized religion I can't deny how important they are, they need your help even if you are secular.
They are so important as a leftist force too that during the Dirty War they were the target of the Junta and many pastors and volunteers were disappeared just for believing in helping others.
Glad you met the goal. Community is so important. It doesn’t seem like you’re holding aid hostage for proselytizing, and I’m glad you’re there filling a need that I think our taxes should (but don’t for some reason) cover.
I donated because you help us with some good food for thought and I appreciate your aim to do good in the world.
Thank you for letting us know! I hope you can get the boiler fixed soon! It sounds like you and your church do good work.
I’m an atheist but I love all walks, I learned most from my Muslim brothers and sisters ❤ this is incredible work. Happy to donate ❤❤❤
This is a true Chruch problem lol

Our building is 103 years old, and we are having issues with our radiators and boiler. We're considering switching over to forced air. I'll try to do what I can because we are going through a similar issue. Praying for y'all and hope to contribute too
It’s this or the roof every time
The way I'm a pessimistic atheist, this warmed my heart so much knowing there are some churches left doing actual real life good for it's community ❤❤
Soooo happy to see you achieved this goal.
Never been a big churchgoer, but I'm a believer. My mom was never really into organized religion and is more spiritual. But I know there are good churches out there that serve as safe havens and pillars in their communities. Sounds like yours is one of those. Happy to give a lil something in support
Good luck Bucko! I hope y’all can keep your doors opens and keep serving your community
what you guys do at your spot is incredible work and ion gotta hear much else than that to pitch in. we’re in desperate need of people that are not only kind hearted enough to serve their community in these trying times, but also equipped with the recourses to do it. hopefully yall can continue holding it down for your community ❤️
Comment for engagement, let’s get this thing funded
Happy to help, even if it’s small. I’ve been in the hospital a lot over the course of the last two months, your content has honestly kept me engaged and grounded this whole time while sick. I’m from the south and I know the difference a church can make within a community.
Congratulations on surpassing your goal, keep up the support of your community and those in need!! It's appreciated, even if it's not always voiced
