What is a faith promise?
A faith promise is an agreement we make with God to give to
missions. It’s a promise because of the commitment to provide a
certain amount over a specific time period (usually a year) for
missions. It requires faith because we are trusting God to provide
these funds in various ways.Giving to missions requires us to agree with God that all the
people-groups (nations) of the world must believe and obey Jesus
Christ. Faith promise is believing that God’s resources are
unlimited and that He wants to give toward this global project
through His children. So, when we give, we are giving from God’s
unlimited resources since everything we have and receive is from His
hand.
Making a faith promise requires risk or it wouldn’t be faith. If
we only give the money which falls out of the sky, we risk nothing
and our obligation to give is nil. Real faith promise giving is to
commit what we have, knowing that God will supply what is lacking.
This often involves sacrifice and trusting God to provide our needs
day by day.
Faith promise is a personal commitment we make to God to give to
His cause on a regular basis. We are making ourselves available to
Him as a channel of supply for world evangelization. And we know
from the start that it will cost us to do it.
There's more... Just ask any church leader or staff for the full
story on Faith Promise Giving. We have a simple to read, but
in-depth flyer on this subject. It works at Southway!
