NEWS & UPDATES

A recent article I read at FaithFi by David Wills addressed the need for us to align our giving with the heart of God. That thought stuck with me—because too often, our giving starts with our desires instead of His direction. Instead of asking, “Where do I want to give?” we should be asking, “Where does God want me to give?” True stewardship begins when God—not our personal preferences—is at the center of every financial decision.

We know that many of you are actively engaged in mission trips at your churches. First, thank you for your commitment to taking the gospel wherever you feel called to go. So, we wanted to make sure you knew about the assistance available through our preferred insurance provider, Brotherhood Mutual®.

Let’s be clear—a church budget is not about crunching numbers; it’s about carrying out the mission. Money should never lead the ministry. Ministry must drive the money. If we get that backwards, we’re managing a balance sheet, not stewarding God's resources.
