WE HAVE ONLY TWO CHOICES:1. WE MUST GO AS MISSIONARIES -
2. WE MUST SEND OTHERS -
COMMITTED MONTHLY GIVING MAKES THIS POSSIBLE.
Jesus said, "Go into all the world and preach the good news to all creation.” Mark 16:15
Paul wrote, “And how will anyone go and tell them unless someone sends him?” Rom
10:15

A Faith Promise:
Your offering comes from what you have .
The Church office will not contact you if you fail to
make a payment.
IS NOT YOUR REGULAR OFFERING
IS NOT JUST A PLEDGE

It is not based solely on your ability to pay but rests
confidently in God’s ability to provide as your faith
ascends to new heights.
FAITH PROMISE GIVING LIFTS US
TO A HIGHER LEVEL –
![Page 11: IT IS A NEW EXPERIENCE IN GIVING! What in the world is a](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070409/56649e805503460f94b8430e/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
WHAT IS A FAITH PROMISE?• It is a sacred act.
• It is your total reliance upon God for divine provision.
• It can be given:
Weekly – Monthly - Annually
![Page 12: IT IS A NEW EXPERIENCE IN GIVING! What in the world is a](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070409/56649e805503460f94b8430e/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
WHO SHOULD MAKE A FAITH PROMISE?
• If you can’t go,you are called to send others.
• Children should be taught to make a faith promise
• Every family should make a faith promise
![Page 13: IT IS A NEW EXPERIENCE IN GIVING! What in the world is a](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070409/56649e805503460f94b8430e/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
FAITH PROMISE GIVING IS:
THE GREAT EQUALIZER
![Page 14: IT IS A NEW EXPERIENCE IN GIVING! What in the world is a](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070409/56649e805503460f94b8430e/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
• If it is an amount that you can afford to give, it doesn’t require as much faith.
• If the amount you have promised to give isn’t a challenge to you, it may not stretch your faith.
IS YOUR PROMISE REALLY MADE IN
![Page 15: IT IS A NEW EXPERIENCE IN GIVING! What in the world is a](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070409/56649e805503460f94b8430e/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
WHY MUST I FILL OUT A FAITH PROMISE CARD?
Faith promises play an important role in order to plan for the future. When
the leaders see God’s people believe God, it challenges them for new
opportunities.
Missionaries cannot leave for the field until the monies needed are provided
![Page 16: IT IS A NEW EXPERIENCE IN GIVING! What in the world is a](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070409/56649e805503460f94b8430e/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
I DON’T WANT OTHERS TO KNOW WHAT I AM GIVING!
• Confidentiality will be maintained.
If you desire absolute anonymity, then merely place an amount on the card.
• Amounts, but not names, will be announced.
![Page 17: IT IS A NEW EXPERIENCE IN GIVING! What in the world is a](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070409/56649e805503460f94b8430e/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
• Yes, because each faith promise is made for one year.
• Yes, because you MAY want to increase your giving for next year.
IF I MADE A FAITH PROMISE LAST YEAR,
SHOULD I MAKE A NEW ONE?
![Page 18: IT IS A NEW EXPERIENCE IN GIVING! What in the world is a](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070409/56649e805503460f94b8430e/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
WHEN DO I GIVE MY FAITH
PROMISE?• The Last Sunday of February.

• Merely place the amount you want to give under missions.
HOW DO I GIVE THE MONEY THROUGHOUT THE YEAR?
