Investing in Eternity
The theme for our Global Partnership Emphasis this year was “Investing in Eternity” and our key verse was Matthew 6:19-21 “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”
“The only joy I know comparable to leading a person to Christ is giving generously to the kingdom of God, that people might be won to Christ that the hungry be fed and the suffering be helped in the name of Christ. There is a joy, an exhilaration in that beyond comprehension.” (From Randy Alcorn – Eternal Perspectives Ministry)
Your generous pledges to our Global Partnership budget are once again a great example of storing up treasures in heaven. Your financial gifts and strategic prayers enable our Global Partners to win people to Christ, feed the hungry and provide other types of encouragement and relief both locally and in various countries around the globe. You get it! Our Global Partners are blessed by our support and we are obeying the Great Commission (Matthew 28: 19, 20) to go and make disciples.
There are booklets available with pictures, a ministry synopsis and prayer request for each of our Global Partners. You can pick one up on the credenza in the lobby. The hope is that the booklets will be used to stay connected with our Global Partners and to learn more about what they are doing and where God has strategically placed them. Let’s keep praying and storing up treasures in heaven by how we utilize all of our resources. Thank you for your support.
