Risen with Grace Affiliates: Multiplying the Loaf
A Loaf That Multiplies
When Jesus broke bread and blessed it, thousands were fed. That same spirit of multiplication is what Risen with Grace carries forward today. Each loaf is more than flour and water — it’s a vessel of grace, a reminder that daily provision belongs to every household. Through our Pay-What-You-Can and Pay-It-Forward model, one loaf sponsored by a giver becomes bread on another family’s table.
Why Churches and Ministries?
We believe the local church is the best place for bread to meet both hunger and hope. By becoming an affiliate, your congregation can step into this ministry of multiplication. Together, we can turn simple loaves into testimonies of God’s faithfulness.
Ways to Partner
Bread Table Ministry: Host a Risen with Grace bread table after services, where members can request a loaf, sponsor a loaf, or take one to share with a neighbor.
Community Distribution: Receive weekly or biweekly loaves to share through your food pantry, outreach events, or care ministries.
Congregational Sponsorship: Encourage your members to participate in the Pay-It-Forward program, multiplying the blessing of bread across the community.
What Partnership Looks Like
Regular delivery of fresh loaves from our bakery.
Shared testimony opportunities: families who received bread, members who gave generously.
Scripture-centered ministry tools (bread cards, devotionals, prayer prompts) to tie the bread back to the Bread of Life, Jesus Christ.
Your church has the chance to become part of a simple but powerful ministry — one that places bread in hands and hope in hearts. Together, we can see the loaf multiplied in Gallatin and beyond.
“I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst.” — John 6:35
Theology of the Loaf: Why Churches Give
Bread is more than food. In Scripture, bread represents God’s daily provision and the shared life of His people. Jesus declared, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst” (John 6:35). When we break bread together, we remember His grace — and we also extend that grace to others.
From the beginning, God gave His people a pattern of care. “At the end of every three years you shall bring out all the tithe of your produce in the same year and lay it up within your towns. And the Levite… and the sojourner, the fatherless, and the widow, who are within your towns, shall come and eat and be filled” (Deuteronomy 14:28–29).
This rhythm reminds us that provision isn’t just personal — it’s communal. Individuals receive freely, yet the household of God is called to ensure the hungry are fed. That is why Risen with Grace invites churches to contribute financially as partners. It is not a transaction; it is obedience. It is not a burden; it is blessing.
When a church sponsors loaves, they are fulfilling God’s call to care for the vulnerable, multiplying grace beyond their walls. Each loaf becomes both daily bread and a living testimony — proof that the church is still called to be the hands of Christ in a hungry world.
Your church’s giving isn’t about covering costs. It’s about carrying out the Gospel.
The Multiplication of Sponsorship
When your church sponsors a loaf through Risen with Grace, you’re not giving alone. In faith, we join you — for every loaf your church provides, we bake and give another. Together, we place two loaves where there was one.
This reflects the pattern of Jesus Himself. He took what was offered, gave thanks, and multiplied it until thousands were fed. We believe He still multiplies today — and your partnership allows us to walk that miracle out in Gallatin and beyond.
What this means for your church:
One sponsored loaf becomes two loaves shared.
One act of generosity becomes two testimonies of grace.
One partnership becomes a multiplication of daily bread and eternal hope.
When you give, you are not just sustaining a ministry — you are joining in a miracle.
“Taking the five loaves and the two fish, he looked up to heaven and said a blessing. Then he broke the loaves and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the crowds. And they all ate and were satisfied.” — Matthew 14:19–20
