Match Day - 2026

Last Chance!
Hearts for Christ, Asphalt for Operation Rebirth Christian Academy

LAST CHANCE ALERT!   Giving Tuesday is here - the one day a year when your generosity AND your sense of humor can glorify God at the same time.

Today, Tuesday, December 2nd, you can donate (through the Community Foundation of Shelby County’s Match Day program to ORCA’s special needs project by credit card (yep… only today!) at https://commfoun.com/donate/.

As we enter this season of giving, we’re reminded that God loves a cheerful giver — and honestly, giving to ORCA might make you extra cheerful knowing you’re helping us fix things like our driveway, which currently resembles the Israelites’ wilderness journey.

Your gift helps our boys grow in Christ, strengthens our ministry, and keeps suspensions (and souls!) safe.

Pray. Give. Laugh. Share.  - Let’s make this Giving Tuesday one to remember — and watch how God doubles the impact of every joyful gift!

Thanks so much for your thoughtfulness and generosity.  Take care and God Bless!

🎄 It’s the Most Wonderful Season for Giving! 🎁
Your ongoing support to ORCA’s general fund keeps our mission strong and steady!  You are making a difference and we appreciate your generous contributions – now and into the future.   However, Match Day is your chance to make an extraordinary impact through the a special program sponsored by the Community Foundation of Shelby County.
And this year, we’ve got a fantastic (and much-needed!) special project that could use your help — because our driveway has seen some things!

🚗 Our Project: “Pave the Drive—Save a Suspension (and a Soul)!”
Let’s be honest… Operation Rebirth Christian Academy’s driveway feels more like an off-roading adventure than a peaceful arrival. It’s long, bumpy, and looks like it was poured sometime between Noah’s Ark and the Red Sea Crossing. 😅       But you can change that! Your Match Day gift will literally pave the way from potholes to pavement bliss through the miracle of asphalt.

✨ The Magic of Matching!
Here’s where it gets exciting — your extra gift for this project will be matched dollar-for-dollar by the Community Foundation of Shelby County, up to a total of $5,000 for all contributions combined. That means every gift helps us reach the match faster — and your generosity goes twice as far toward saving suspensions and souls!   And if we’re blessed with more than enough to pave the drive, every extra penny will roll right into other campus repairs  — because while we believe in miracles, we also believe in maintenance!
