FINAL CAMPAIGN REPORT

In September of 2010, the Building Upon the Legacycapital campaign was born.At  that  time  a  group  of  passionate  supporters  of

Christian  education  in  this  area  was  assembled  andchallenged to move into the community to spread themessage and enlist support for the construction of a newschool  facility  for  the  Holland  Marsh  District  ChristianSchool Society.This society is the oldest Christian School in Canada with its

humble beginnings in 1943.Over  the years many students were educated  in  the  light of

God’s Word and with the commitment and message that Jesus Christis Lord over all of creation and that education should also include that

perspective  in  all  subject  areas.  By  the  early  2000s  it  was  becoming

 apparent that the current facility would need to bereplaced. The question was when and where would it bebuilt and how would the funds be raised. By 2007 a sitewas  chosen  and  a  capital  campaign was  launched.  That initiative resulted  in the new site being acquired andpaid for as the concept of building the new facilitybegan to take root in the community.In  2010  the  society  decided  to  embark  on 

a  campaign  to  raise  funds  for  the  building. The  goal  of  the  campaign  was  to  raise$4,000,000.  By  2013  there  were  enoughfunds  committed  that  the  membership approved proceeding towards construction.Actual construction began in 2014 and wascompleted by September of 2015. 

This is the story of Faith that the Lord wouldprovide whatever we stand in need of as we askin prayer. It is also a story of Hope that the Lordwould  instill  in  the  community  the  desire  and commitment to this project to provide the necessaryfunds. The path unfolded in a way which displayed theLove that this community has for the Lord and the ministryto  children  through  Christian  Education.  Each  step  of  this

 journey has had a foundation of constant prayerto the Lord that He would bless the efforts andgifts given by many volunteers and donors. This endeavour consisted of a “commongoal”  and  “unity”  which  defined  the community whose names are listed in thereport.  It  was  decided  early  on  in  the campaign that we should celebrate andrecognize  the  generosity  of  the  manydonors as each gave in accordance with

their   blessings  and  the  need  with  which  this community was challenged. Each donor was faced

with a challenge and opportunity to support as theyfelt moved. We humbly thank each  supporter for therole that they have chosen to play in this chapterof Christian education in this area. As you readthrough  the  list  you will  see  “anonymous”listed  many  times.  This   represents  thedonors  from whom we were not able  to receive  permission  or were  not  able  toreach  for  permission  to  publish  theirname. Each name represents a  decisionto  make  a  gift  which  will   provide lasting  benefits  for  children  at  KingChristian  School  over  the  decades to come.The  support  given  throughout  the

campaign  and  building  process  is an  exemplary  demonstration  of  the faithful  stewardship  of  many  people.This  support  is  a  testament  to  the generous and sacrificial giving which thecampaign  team  has  been  privileged  to

 witness. May the Lord bless each of us as westrive to serve the Lord in all areas of life.

Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves

a cheerful giver. 2 Corinthians 9:7
