01
Pray
Before any specific commitment, we invite you into a quiet conversation with the Lord. Pray about whether He may be inviting you into this season of the Storehouse work — and about what posture of consecration that may ask of you.
A Relational Invitation
Partner with Us
This is not a campaign. It is a conversation. We are inviting a small group of trusted friends and leaders to pray, listen, and discern what the Lord may be inviting them into.
"One plants and one waters — each plays a role, working together toward one purpose." — 1 Corinthians 3:8
The Pattern We Are Stepping Into
In 2 Chronicles 29–31, leaders were consecrated. Worship was restored. Leaders gave first. The community responded. And storehouses were built — not because there was lack, but because there was overflow that needed stewarding.
In Acts 6:3, before the early Church distributed resources, they identified leaders full of the Spirit and wisdom. Leadership came first. Provision followed.
The Moment
- Pilot Phase — $600K across six founding communities, launched sequentially as Spirit-led leaders are identified
- Continuous Deployment — $100K external commits launch communities one at a time
- Self-sustaining from Year 3 onward through community reinvestment
- Total external raise: $1.6M — then the network funds itself
- A Spirit-led leader has directed an initial $50,000 seed grant from a Donor-Advised Fund at WaterStone. Pilot gifts will be matched dollar-for-dollar up to that amount.
Founding Seed Partners
An Invitation to a Founding Few
This is not about equal giving. It is about aligned leadership — partners who go first, help shape what this becomes, and carry credibility into broader conversations.

Listen
Listening prayer is not asking the Lord to confirm what we have already decided; it is being still long enough to hear what He is already saying. The form, the timing, and the amount of your participation emerge from your own discernment, not from prescribed levels.
03

An Invitation to Business Leaders
A Defining Moment for Redding
There are moments when a community is invited into something deeper than strategy — something that requires alignment, consecration, and response. We believe Redding is in such a moment.
This is not, first, a financial invitation. It is an invitation to consecrate your influence, your business, and your resources to the Lord. Before contribution comes alignment.
What Participation Can Look Like
Business leaders may participate through recurring giving tied to revenue or profit, through strategic gifts from business-generated income or appreciated assets, or through whatever the Spirit places before them in their own discernment.
A Posture of Listening
Before this is a financial decision, it is a spiritual one. We invite you to pray and discern, ask whether you are being invited into this season, and respond from a place of worship — not obligation.
"What role am I being invited to play?"
The discerning question
