What Is a Festival of Giving
This is an amazing opportunity to share the gospel of Jesus Christ on a large scale, inviting people into a relationship with the Lord through a radical crusade-type atmosphere including musicians and worship, a gospel message, altar call, prayer, sharing, and testimonies. The main draw, however, is the massive amount of free furniture, household goods, clothing, and the like that is made available after the time of ministry.
How Is A Festival of Giving Organized
Abraham’s House facilitates the Festivals of Giving. We secure the space and organize the event and work with all necessary city and property personnel. For the Tacoma Dome event we are inviting 50 churches (Christian only) to purchase a specific amount of space ranging from 100 to 500 square feet. The fee they pay for the space covers the cost of renting the exhibition center.
They may bring any donations they like and set up just as you would for a rummage sale. The items will all be made available free-of-charge after the time of ministry. Prior to the close of the event there is one final gospel presentation and a raffle drawing.
The raffle items could include vehicles, motorcycles, vacations, gold/diamond jewelry, stereo systems, large screen TVs, computers, etc. Tickets are given to everyone who comes free of charge.
Churches are advised to have a table set up specifically with information about their church and ministry focus. We recommend each person from your church wear a badge that clearly identifies who they are and what church they are representing. This is a time to serve, love, and meet your community. Take advantage of meeting those who may desperately need Jesus!

Can you think of a better way to radically help people and show them the love of Jesus than this? We can come together as the body of Christ and give away the most precious thing we have…our faith.
We are not just telling people Jesus cares for them we are showing them.
2 Corinthians 8:9 “You know how full of love and kindness our Lord Jesus was: though He was so very rich, yet to help you He became so very poor, so that bybeing poor He could make you rich.”
Let’s give our riches in Christ away! God bless you.
Join us for a time of ministry and giving that WILL change people’s lives and it WILL change a city!

STEP #1-PRAYER!!!!!!
Tacoma Dome Prayer Guide
“Then Jesus said to His disciples, “The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into His harvest field.” -Matt. 9:37-38
We don’t need to tell Jesus the laborers are few. They were back in Jesus’ day and they are now. Not to worry, ask the Lord…He is the Lord of the harvest and He will send workers out as we ask. Notice it is His harvest field anyway. In the coming 7 months of preparation for the Tacoma Dome Festival of Giving there are some specific areas we need to cover in prayer persistently and faithfully. This is the most important part of an event like this. The souls are won on our knees first!
-Pray protection over event, enemy bound from causing cancellationor undue financial obligations. Pray for favor with Dome staff. City of Tacoma, and others involved. Pray over the Ex. Hall.
-Pray for souls even now- that God would bring those who need to hear the gospel and that their hearts would be prepared and that they would respond by giving their lives to Christ.
-Pray for the follow-up of these new believers- that churches would embrace them and that volunteers would arise to do the follow-up at the event. Pray for the training to go smoothly and effectively.
-Pray for churches to respond excitedly to this event and begin preparing even now. Pray for generous hearts to gather the harvest of material goods needed to give away. Pray for volunteers to assist in all areas of service!
-Pray for the organizing and preparation by Tyna and the others who will lead this event. Pray for wisdom and God’s specific step-by-step instructions to be made clear. Pray for protection from attacks by the enemy over them and their families.
-Pray for the non profs and other organizations that help the needy- Pray they spread the word like wild fire inviting the needy to come.
-Pray for favor with newspapers, media, churches, and other sources of advertising. Pray God speeds the message around all of Pierce Co. of His feast laid for all to come.
-Pray for Ray and Sandy Jennings, Masters of Ceremony, The Gamlens and Nathan French, Worship Ministry, Tyna and another, the Gosepel Message and Invitation.
-Pray over the Raffle that God supplies AMAZING gifts and that miracles are done right in front of all watching!
-Pray for Ken as he creates the Dome “port” on the Abe’s House web site for this event.
*Pray that an Abraham’s House Charter 2 is established in Tacoma after the event is over. Pray a church is prepared and willing to start one!
-Pray as God leads YOU. Pray in the Spirit. Pray faithfully.
Remember this incredible promise! Are we praying God’s will for the Tacoma Dome? You bet we are! Pray boldly and with confidence! Pray Scripture!
“This is the confidence we have in approaching God-that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. And if we know that He hears us-whatever we ask-we know that we have what we asked of Him!”
-1 John 5:14-15
