Pioneer Operating Budget
A passionate woman stood on our church platform and shared how our church was reaching our local community by offering free English classes to people in our community who desired to learn how to speak English. What struck me most was the deep bonds she and the team from our church had developed with the people who were coming once a week to our community room to learn.
What was even more beautiful was that our church had partnered with a local business that donated household goods, and as a church, we were meeting some of the physical needs of those who were coming to these classes as well! One couple had been praying for a reclining couch to meet the need of a sick family member who needed to sit and sleep in a reclined position.
The woman sharing the testimony told our church that just then she called the family to offer them one that had just been given to the church by this local business! It’s not a coincidence – I saw God moving through the faithfulness of those dedicating their time and energy to run this ministry.
When you give to our local church budget, which is what today’s offering is for, you give to meet needs both for our church to function, as well as forus to be a blessing to the community around us.
