Determining My Faith Commitment
Step 1: Pray
This is the first
and most important step in preparing your heart to respond
to God's call to action. Ask Him what He would have you
give. Listen to what He says.
Step 2:
Prepare to Sacrifice
God does not
expect equal giving, but He does expect equal sacrifice.
Remember these are gifts above and beyond your regular
tithes. Think in terms of what you can give up in order to
reach our community, and the world for Christ.
Step 3: Expect
Great Things From God
We serve an
awesome God...so trust that He will provide what He
impresses you to give, even if it's greater than the
resources you can readily identify or expect. Leave room for
faith in your commitment.
3 Ways to Give
1. Make a
36-month giving pledge. See the "My Potential Giving" chart.
2. Give an
initial cash gift in April.
3. Give stocks,
securities and other assets.
My Potential Giving
A little consistency builds into a sizeable amount. Each of
us can give far more than we think possible by giving it
over a three-year period. Here are some examples:
