Introduction
I am very excited about our
Faith Promise Mission Month each March. We realize that
through our participation in Faith Promise Missions many in
the world who have never once heard the Gospel of Jesus
Christ will have this opportunity. God help us to reach out
to the lost world.
Before we look at what Faith Promise Mission Giving is, let
us first see what it is Not.
It is not a pledge! No one but
God knows what you promised.
It is not something that
someone will call on you to collect.
It is not ever to be taken away
from your tithes & offerings.
What is the Faith Promise
It is strictly between you &
God. If you decide you cannot give as you promised then you
tell God alone. Only He and you will know.
It is waiting before the Lord
for His instructions as to what He wants you to give in
reaching the world with the saving Gospel of Jesus Christ.
It must be carried on by faith
that God will supply for other things which arise as you
proceed in giving what you promised Him. (II Cor. 9:7-8)
What is the Aim of the Faith Promise Plan
Its aim is to never glorify
individuals or organizations - Only Jesus Christ!
Its sole purpose is to support
the work of world evangelism which is commanded by our Lord
and Savior, Jesus Christ. (Mark 16:15) It is designed
to bring us into a closer and completely dependent attitude
upon God and a more blessed fellowship with Him.
The Faith Promise Plan Is in Accord with the Spirit of the
New Testament
It is Scriptural. According to
II Cor.8 & 9. The Apostle Paul practiced it. He would ask
the churches to promise a certain amount and give them an
allotted time to get it together then would come to pick up
their gifts using them in the establishing of churches and
winning the lost for Jesus Christ. (I Cor. 16:2)
It makes giving a spiritual
thing and establishes true consecration as the only valid
basis for sharing with God our means. We"purpose" in our
heart to give. This is the Bible plan. (II Cor. 8:4-5 and
9:7)3. It is an act of absolute faith with trust in the
Lord. It sets a definite goal for our future service to the
Lord.
It is church centered, and
provides missionary giving, which otherwise might not be
available to individuals.
How the Faith Promise Plan Is Carried Out
1st Sunday morning, in April
you will be asked to indicate, on a special card provided,
what amount you will give weekly for the next year. You do
this without putting your name on it.
The money given through Faith
Promise Missions will be recorded and the amount kept
separately. The Faith Promise is taken up by the children of
the Church each Sunday Morning. Please put your offering in
an envelope without your name on it.
Faith Promise Missions is an
expression of our obedience to Christ's command to "make
disciples of all people."
