  1. The FAITH PROMISE A BIBLICAL GIVING EXPERIENCE!

  2. One Half Of The World Is Without An Adequate Gospel Witness. WE HAVE BEEN COMMANDED TO REACH THEM!

  3. WE HAVE ONLY TWO CHOICES 1. WE MUST GO AS MISSIONARIES - Jesus said, "Go into all the world and preach the good news to all creation.”Mark 16:15 (NIV) or 2. WE MUST SEND OTHERS - Paul wrote, “And how will anyone go and tell them unless someone sends him?”Rom 10:15 (TLB) COMMITTED MONTHLY GIVING MAKES THIS POSSIBLE.

  4. COMMITTED MISSIONS GIVING: IS NOT YOUR TITHE Your tithe is God’s portion of what He has already provided for you. IS NOT JUST A PLEDGE The Church office will not contact you if you fail to make a payment.

  5. Paul wrote concerning the giving of the Macedonian Christians, “For I testify that according to their ability, and beyond their ability, they gave of their own accord,” 2 Cor 8:3 (NASU)

  6. THERE ARE TWO KINDS OF COMMITTED GIVING THAT SUPPORT MISSIONS “according to their ability” BUDGETED GIVING “..beyond their ability..” FAITH PROMISE GIVING

  7.  Tithe Missions  House House  Food  Car BUDGETED GIVING MEANS: • To give regularly • To include missions in your monthly budget as a priority item • To give what you are truly able to afford

  8. FAITH PROMISE GIVING LIFTS US TO A HIGHER LEVEL OF PARTNERSHIP! It is not based on your ability to give but rests confidently in God’s ability to provide as your faith ascends to new heights.

  9. WHAT IS A FAITH PROMISE? • It is a sacred act. • It is a spiritual agreement between you and God to give monthly during the next year. • It is your total reliance upon God for divine provision.

  10. WHO SHOULD MAKE A FAITH PROMISE? • Every family unit should make a faith promise. • We are all called to be either goers or senders. • Children and youth should be taught to make a faith promise.

  11. FAITH PROMISE GIVING IS THE GREAT EQUALIZER

  12. IS YOUR PROMISE REALLY MADE IN FAITH? • If it is an amount that you can afford to give, it doesn’t require as much faith. • If the amount you have promised to give isn’t a challenge to you, it may not stretch your faith.

  13. WHY MUST I FILL OUT A FAITH PROMISE CARD? • Missionaries cannot leave for the field until their budget is complete. • Missions leadership will not know how much the church can commit to support of missionaries until your promises are totaled.

  14. I DON’T WANT OTHERS TO KNOW WHAT I AM GIVING! • Amounts, but not names, will be announced. • Confidentiality will be maintained. • Only those who administer missions funds will see your card.

  15. IF I MADE A FAITH PROMISE LAST YEAR, MUST I MAKE A NEW ONE? • Yes,because each faith promise is made for one year. • Yes, because you WILL want to increase your giving for next year. • Yes, because we start fresh today.

  16. HOW DO I GIVE MY FAITH PROMISE? • Most will give on mission’s Sunday. • Some will give as they receive their salary. • Others must wait until God provides. • All should clearly mark their giving “missions”.

  17. HOW MUCH IS A FAITH PROMISE? • GOD GAVE HIS SON • JESUS GAVE HIS LIFE FOR LOST SOULS • SHOULDN’T WE GIVE MORE TO REACH THE LOST THAN WE SPEND ON: ?

  18. CALVARY DEMANDS OUR BEST, NOT OUR LEFTOVERS!

  19. So, How Much Should My Faith Promise Be? Here’s a revolutionary idea. JUST ASK GOD! HE WILL TELL YOU HOW MUCH YOUR FAITH PROMISE SHOULD BE.

  20. ACTIVE FAITH WILL UNLOCK THE RESOURCES NEEDED TO COMPLETE YOUR COMMITMENT And God is able to provide you with every blessing in abundance, so that you may always have enough of everything and may provide in abundance for every good work. 2 Cor 9:8 (RSV)

  21. ACTIVE OBEDIENCE WILL LEAD YOU TO MAKE YOUR COMMITMENT NOW! “Each one must do as he has made up his mind…”2 Cor 9:7 (RSV)
