Faith Promise

November is again upon us, and again I will be asking you to commit to giving to Faith Promise. I’m sure that all of you have been tempted to cut back this year, but if you will just glance at the mission’s board, I believe that the Holy Spirit will again burden your heart to commit another gift to these brave men and women. They are counting on us not to quit but to continue to give. Many churches are cutting back, but let’s not be one of them. Our goal must be to continue on in faith, even though our funds are low. “For if there be first a willing mind, it is accepted according to that a man hath, and not according to that he hath not.” Don't let fear dictate your Faith Promise this year. God can supply even during a famine. “…for God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work.” “Now he that ministereth seed to the sower both minister bread for your food.” Oh listen, don’t draw back out of fear, but let faith lead you forward to give again at least what you gave last year. So, let faith win, give and trust God for the results!
