Please pray that God bless us, our family, and our Church. Also lift up a covering for the prayers we make. We personally ask for knowledge and wisdom from the Lord and not of myself, that we may do all things in and by His will and way. That we may always know the next step. This Church as any other, needs funding. So as the Spirit of the Lord directs you, we pray for financial support from our members and prayer partners, but do not expect or demand it. Realize sowing into this Church (or any true Christian ministry) is biblical.

When you sow here; not only do you sow into good ground, also your tax-deductible gifts enable us to fulfill the vision and mission of the Church. Any and all love gifts are welcome and appreciated. God bless you in all you do. IN ALL THINGS PRAY FIRST, seek God and ask first, God will tell you where to plant the seed He has placed in your hand. God gives to us, so we may give to others, but He also tells us who to bless, when to bless, and how to bless. It is always better to obey God than man.

2 Corinthians 8:9-15 (NLT) You know the generous grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. Though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, so that by his poverty he could make you rich. Here is my advice: It would be good for you to finish what you started a year ago. Last year you were the first who wanted to give, and you were the first to begin doing it. Now you should finish what you started. Let the eagerness you showed in the beginning be matched now by your giving. Give in proportion to what you have. Whatever you give is acceptable if you give it eagerly. And give according to what you have, not what you don’t have. Of course, I don’t mean your giving should make life easy for others and hard for yourselves. I only mean that there should be some equality. Right now you have plenty and can help those who are in need. Later, they will have plenty and can share with you when you need it. In this way, things will be equal. As the Scriptures say, “Those who gathered a lot had nothing left over, and those who gathered only a little had enough.” |
2 Corinthians 9:6-15 (NLT) Remember this—a farmer who plants only a few seeds will get a small crop. But the one who plants generously will get a generous crop. You must each decide in your heart how much to give. And don’t give reluctantly or in response to pressure. “For God loves a person who gives cheerfully.” And God will generously provide all you need. Then you will always have everything you need and plenty left over to share with others. As the Scriptures say, “They share freely and give generously to the poor. Their good deeds will be remembered forever.” For God is the one who provides seed for the farmer and then bread to eat. In the same way, he will provide and increase your resources and then produce a great harvest of generosity in you. Yes, you will be enriched in every way so that you can always be generous. And when we take your gifts to those who need them, they will thank God. So two good things will result from this ministry of giving—the needs of the believers in Jerusalem will be met, and they will joyfully express their thanks to God. As a result of your ministry, they will give glory to God. For your generosity to them and to all believers will prove that you are obedient to the Good News of Christ. And they will pray for you with deep affection because of the overflowing grace God has given to you. Thank God for this gift too wonderful for words! |
