Offering

“Two billion people today have no access to anyone who can tell them about Jesus. Only one in every thirty missionaries work among these two billion. For every $100 in the offering plate, only one penny goes to this work.” Are there any radicals out there who want to see this change? And would even be willing to help make it happen? But where would you even start?

Stories of organ transplants abound and have resulted in the saving of many lives. Organ donors are either deceased or have an extra organ they can live without. But who ever heard of a live donor of a healthy heart: the survival rate for the donor is zero! Which makes this story so compelling.

Pioneer Operating Budget

Growing up I was taught at an early age to show respect and honor to God and country.

For example, I was taught to never put anything on top of the Bible, because the Word of God is holy; and to never to let the flag of our country touch the ground, because people have sacrificed their lives for the liberty of our country. When it comes to tithes and offerings, we should always honor God by giving to Him the first part of our income and blessings; not what’s left after we have paid the bills.

Jesus addressed the concerns of people today, “For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you” (Matthew 6:32-33, NKJV).

The promise is that if we put Christ and His work first in everything, He will take care of all our needs. No need to be concerned about our food, clothing, or anything. God will surely come through and not only “add these things” but abundantly open the windows of heaven for us.
