**NOTIFICATION OF H*VMI’s WITHDRAWAL FROM EXTRA-GIVE:**

(message from Kyle Robinson, Executive Director)

Looking around, it is clear that the world is changing. The world would like us all to move with the tide taking us further and further away from our Christian beliefs and ideals. Often we feel our choices are either to go with or swim against the tide. I would suggest that believers need to be like solid rocks, staying constant no matter how the water around us moves. At H*VMI we are committed to standing firm no matter what changes in the world around us.

The practical aspect of how this pertains to the ExtraGive event is explained in the attached letters. In summary, we believe that the values of the ExtraGive sponsoring organization, LCCF, have shifted toward values that conflict with the Bible. Therefore, we cannot in good conscience continue participating in this event.

Below are two letters that I hope will help explain H*VMI’s decision to withdraw from ExtraGive: The first is FROM the ExtraGive to prior GIVE donors. The second is H*VMI’s letter TO you, our friend, supporter and co-laborer.
