Faith Promise

---

Each man should give what he has decided in his heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that in all things, at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work. 2 Corinthians 8:7-8

Faith to Hear

God’s Heart How do I make a Faith Promise? ►Pray about what God would have you give. ►Fill out the top portion and put in the offering ►Fill out the bottom portion, sign, and keep for your records.

Making a Faith Promise

God calls individuals to serve as missionaries around the world. They are enabled to fulfill that call because God also calls individuals to faithfully give. Your Faith Promise enables our church to commit monthly support to missionaries.

What is a Faith Promise? A Faith Promise is a sacred act of faith, a spiritual agreement between you and God as you commit to give regularly to help fulfill God’s plan to reach a lost world. A faith promise is not your tithe or a portion of you tithe. Neither is it a pledge or a legally binding agreement. It is what you, in faith, believe God wants to funnel through you to the building of His kingdom. Who will know what my Faith Promise commitment is? A Faith Promise is between you and God. We do not know who has made a Faith Promise.

Why should I fill out a Faith Promise card? When members of a congregation make Faith Promise commitments, church leaders can determine how much the church can commit to support missions. What if I am unable to make a large Faith Promise? No amount is too small. God honors and uses our obedience more than the amount of our giving. Limited income should not prevent anyone from making a Faith Promise. Jesus said that the widow who gave just a “mite” in the offering gave more than all the others because she gave all she had.

If I have previously made a Faith Promise commitment, should I make a new one? Yes. Each Faith Promise is made for a period of 1 year. When should I give my Faith Promise? Some will give a one-time gift and others may choose to give monthly for a period of 1 year. Faith Promises will begin on our designated Missions Sunday.
