Hey there,
Ruwah (Holy Spirit) spoke to me today as I was praying and seeking direction for the church. Ruwah opened up with a question, one I wasn't expecting. Ruwah said,
"What do people get for joining Unaligned?"
I blinked, caught off guard by the question. I took a breath and said,
"I don't understand. What do you mean, what do they get? They get taught knowledge, they get truth and most importantly, they get you, your Son, salvation."
Although this was nice and truthful, this was not what Ruwah meant. Ruwah corrected me, saying that was obvious, came with the territory. What Ruwah was challenging me to do was consider you, the one reading this and the ones who will join Unaligned Church. Ruwah said I needed to create a reward system, that it was ideal and good for me to reward doners and future members. We talked for several minutes and by the end of the conversation I was enlightened and had something good to offer to doners and members of Unaligned Church. We are just stating and very small and have no way of making Ruwah's vision work at the moment, but in the season where we get more people to join up and bountiful resources, here's how the reward system will work.
If someone donates to us while we're still in the building stages of this campaign and helps us reach our goal or surpasses our goal, those people will receive benefits. They will get free church merch, receive a link to access to our Discord. We will not use Zoom or other platforms for audio/video calls with our members because those services charge. Discord does not. Doners and members of Unaligned Church will receive a certificate in the mail, an exclusive role on the server that lets them stand out from the others and instant access to our ministry team. The ministers and pastors under me and myself will chat with you if you're having a hard time and provide helpful, healthy coping skills if you're having a hard time among so much more.
Doners or members of Unaligned Church don't have to pay for Christian counseling service, people who did not donate and do not sign up on the website/join the online church must pay for this service. Discord will also have a Book Study every Thursday night that focus on your area of need and breaks down themes of the Book, whereas church services is a global need, touching on various topics and cannot easily zone in on everyone's needs.
The second major benefit Ruwah explained to me, which I absolutely loved, is an end of the year party where we, the church will have several items people may need. There will be a forum on our website that highlights our clothing and food ministry, "Infinite Closet". Under the IC thread, it will ask people what they need in their life. Tools, clothes, kitchen appliances, etc. This will something our doners or members can reap at the end of the year. We're online, but that doesn't matter. Should someone select an item at the party and live outside the USA, that's fine. We will ship item to them at no expense to them. When Ruwah asked if I would do this locally or intentionally, I said internationally. Why? Because I want our doners and members to be blessed and feel loved and appreciated.
Now, please keep in mind that these benefits Ruwah and I talked about today can only be active and valid if I have more men and women join the ministry team and have a benefactor or someone who simply wishes to give generously long-term to our company (UC is going to be a profit LLC, not a 501(c)3 non-profit organization.) and do so as long as we are active. If you're wondering what would happen if no one donates or joins Unaligned Church, Ruwah had a response for that as well. Ruwah told me in a firm tone, that if no one donated to the campaign and no one joined the church and my team and I did everything ourselves, then those people cannot partake in the benefits. In other words, if people show up AFTER the fact and AFTER the online church is built and want to donate or join up, we will have it in our policy that will not be acceptable. People must join and remain members for (6) months before they will qualify for the benefits. I find this fair, especially if no one donated or joined in the beginning and only came around after the labor and toil was over. To those who pray and are Christians, pray for this to blossom. The reward system is a great idea and one I would enjoy seeing unfold over time.
