For years our church has supported Jeff and Vick Rogers . They’re our American missionaries to the DR where we’re currently building our feeding center/church. I introduced you to them last year in THIS POST.
If you attend Cross Point you know 11% of every weekend offering goes to support missions, so your faithful giving already supports Jeff and Vicki. But here’s another way you guys could support them by doing something you’re probably already doing.
If you shop at Kroger you can help them out. They’ve made an arrangement with Kroger in which 4% of what you spend on groceries anyway, can be designated to help support their work with G.O. Ministries
So, here’s how the whole thing works:
1. Fill out this Web form.
2. Be sure to pick “Jeff and Vicki Rogers” in the “Supporting” drop down box.
3. You will receive a Kroger gift card in the mail already credited with $5
4. Next time you go to Kroger to get groceries go to the customer service desk first and put additional money on your gift card (whatever you estimate you will spend). It can be used at any Kroger owned store across the US.
5. Get groceries and pay with gift card.
6. Keep your gift card and reuse it over and over again just like the above. It’s important to keep the card because that’s how the whole thing is tracked.
Kroger will donate 4% of each dollar you put on the gift card to G.O. Ministries in the Rogers name, helping support their work. This adds a step to your grocery run, but helps the cash you’re spending go 4% further to help change the world in which we live in very positive ways.
That is too cool. I just read your previous post about them. I can tell you from first hand experience that being called to a mission is the craziest thing God can tell you to do. It was like being shot out of a cannon for me, and it happend every day.

@Sarah. So true!
I love these guys Pete and don’t even know them.
I visited their web site about a year ago and was completely hooked on their mission.
The Kroger card is easy to use for anyone considering it plus you get a free $5 on it
Hey, most of us already shop there and you get to help out good folks by buying ice cream…I mean veggies.

@Joseph, I can attest that they are the real deal. Love them with all my heat.
Shut up – that is the coolest thing ever. I love it. And can I just say that their family is so so so beautiful? Seriously.

I’m sooo here…I only shop at kroger with an extreme amount of coupons (don’t get behind me in the checkout line) and how great for it to help missionaries out as well — signing up right now, how cool is it that we can electronically give to missions…love how our world develops, thanks Pete!
Hey Pete!
Thanks so much for helping us get the word out! We’ve had 15 people sign-up since last night already! You’re a tremendous blessing to us, Brother!
So are the rest of you that pray for us and are helping with this program!!
Grace and Peace!
Jeff and Vicki
