Your giving is a sacred act of worship toward God. Giving on any other basis is not solicited
and will not be accepted by Church For All.
We do not raise money to meet our expenses. If God does not provide, we will quit quietly.
We refuse to assault your mail box and email box with pleas for help. God is our Source and
if He does not desire us to do this, we will be happy to do something else.
We do not use projects -- such as buildings or orphanages -- to raise money for our support. While these may be
very good and worthwhile, it is our opinion that using this method for raising money to support our ministry is
not the method that God intends.
We do not offer "love gifts" that you can receive in return for your giving. We do love
to give to you, as the Lord directs, but do not think you should have to be "bribed" to act on God's Word and give. God's promise of blessing should be enough.
We are to freely and joyously give to the Lord out of
our love and devotion to Him -- not because of the needs we see. The Lord has
designated, in general terms, where giving directed to Him should go: to ministers
called and anointed to proclaim the Gospel. When the money is placed in the hands of
those whom God has already placed in their hearts to get His job done, then the needs will
be met. But, in the process God has not been robbed of the attention and worship that He
so deserves.
While the Bible does have a place for giving to the poor -- giving to meet needs -- it has
completely crowded out the much more important act of giving to God in our popular thinking.
We believe it is time to stress the importance of keeping God as the focus, and giving
as unto the Lord.
The Bible teaches that believers should be givers and instructs us how to do it. The Bible
also promises blessings for those who are givers.
Although we, as a church, have the right in the U.S.A. to issue tax-deductible contribution receipts
-- we have chosen not to do so, unless specifically requested. We believe it is better to be rewarded by God than to be
rewarded by the government.
(See Matthew 6:1-4
& Philippians 4:17-19)
Also, our brothers and sisters in other countries do not have this privilege.
