Faith Promise Information(click here to download a Faith Promise Response Card)
The Faith Promise plan is the way to participate financially in our World Mission Program. This is the 34th anniversary of Faith Promise at Fellowship. Our missions program has grown almost every year since it was introduced in 1976. Be sure to participate again this year. If you are new to Faith Promise, let 2010 be your year to begin. Please look over our list of missionaries.
Is it Biblical?
Yes. Read in II Corinthians, Chapter 9. Each man should give what he has decided in his heart to give…
How does it work?
After prayerful consideration, designate on the Faith Promise Card an amount you plan to give in the coming year. Your Faith Promise, added to all others, make up our annual mission budget.
Is this like a pledge?
No. You do not sign your name to the card. This is between you and the Lord. The church will not ask you directly for the money.
If I can’t give my Faith Promise, does the missionary support lack?
Not only is this faith on your part, it is also faith on the part of the church. We will trust God to supply, through you or someone else to fi ll a gap.
Can I give to missions without making a Faith Promise?
Certainly, but a Faith Promise helps us set the budget up front and not wait to the end of the mission year to dispense any excess. Our challenge goal for 2010-2011 is $98,000, made up of the total of all Faith Promises received. Pray as to what you and your family are able to do for the coming year.
Remember that when you do make a Faith Promise, not to take the money from your regular church offering so that the general fund suffers. You may start giving to next year’s budget on February 21, 2010. Thanks be to God for his indescribable gift!
