PASTOR TESTIMONIES
"I have pastored Life Pointe Church for a year and a half. Nothing has expedited the process of getting to know the community like BUY A TREE. CHANGE A LIFE. It provides a unique opportunity to host people from the area on your church property and show them the love of Jesus while selling them a beautiful tree that helps children!
Every year we hear amazing stories about people who came to purchase a tree and found hope in Jesus and a church home… all while changing the world.
This event is a favorite among members at Life Pointe Church. Every year our church grows numerically and relationally as a result of BUY A TREE. CHANGE A LIFE. We are already planning for 2018 and believe it will be the best year yet!"

“BUY A TREE. CHANGE A LIFE. has been a vital part of the DNA of Oasis Church from our first year in 2014.
Through awareness of the mission and our efforts to sell trees, our church has benefited greatly. In our five years with the project we have been able to raise $190,000 to give back to missions and our community. We have become more visible within our community and more intentional and generous when it comes to helping, loving and serving others.”

“Freedom House Church has benefited greatly from our involvement with BUY A TREE. CHANGE A LIFE. We have been able to develop deeper relationships in our community, both in local businesses and with families. The project has also provided a great opportunity for our church family to connect with one another while serving our community and the world! It’s amazing to see new bonds, connections, and relationships form between people who barely knew each other, yet attend a church together every week. That’s a special dynamic that takes place every year!
we have people who met us under the tent to buy a tree, then attended a church service, and have since become a faithful part of our church life.
