“Suppose you see a brother or sister who needs food or clothing, and you say, ‘Well, good-bye and God bless you; stay warm and eat well’-but then you don’t give that person any food or clothing. What good does that do?” James 2:15-16
This need to give, to do till everything is given and done, has resulted in a Giving Fund.
Giving doesn’t always mean money. We can give many things, our time, prayer, a cooked meal, a pie, a hug, an ear, a Bible, groceries. We can give a blanket, a coat, clothes, extra toys. Things we have excess in that could be beneficial to someone who has little.
What about love, kindness, gentleness, Jesus, friendship, support, encouragement.
All of these things we can give, we can do.
All of these things require less of the “Me” and more of them, more of Him.
In Philippians 2:3-4 Paul says, “Don’t be selfish; don’t live to make a good impression on others. Be humble, thinking of others as better than yourself. Don’t think only about your own affairs, but be interested in others, too, and what they are doing.”
The Giving Fund requires us to make ourselves nothing, just as Christ made Himself nothing. (Philippians 2:7)
It requires selflessness, humility, and a heart with a pure motive.
So I ask that you pray for this Giving Fund. Pray it will become all that God wants it to be. Pray it will bless as many lives and break the bondage of slavery that many are living in. Pray for God’s guidance and leadership to govern it. And pray for people to take part in the Giving Fund.
If you are interested in being a part of the Giving Fund, please contact me or my husband at;
Our prayer is that, we, the Body of Christ will join together, functioning as one, to serve. Would you consider serving with us? You can do it right where you are.
