Faith Promise.

“But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” (Acts 1:8)

What is Faith Promise?

 

FAITH PROMISE is a biblical method used by many local churches to raise financial support for world missions. For decades, hundreds of thousands of Christians have been involved. Exciting stories abound of persons who have seen God provide their funds for FAITH PROMISE in unexpected and seemingly miraculous ways.

 

FAITH PROMISE is exactly what it says—a promise made in faith between an individual and God. That promise is made based on what the giver believes God wants him or her to give to ministries beyond those of the local church.

FAITH PROMISE is giving by trusting in God’s covenants with us. FAITH PROMISE commitments are given systematically for global missions.

 

Most persons arrive at their FAITH PROMISE amount following time in prayer and Bible study. By listening to the voice of God, we learn what the Holy Spirit wants to do through us to support the mission ministries of our church.

Giving through FAITH PROMISE is an adventure and an opportunity to allow God to show how He can provide when we open our hearts and our wallets to do generous things for His Kingdom.

 

FAITH PROMISE is not to be confused with a pledge. No one will remind you of the exact amount you owe on your FAITH PROMISE giving. It is also not to be confused with the tithe. It is a love gift to God, to be given above and beyond the tithe. Finally, it’s not a cure-all for a church’s financial problems.

FAITH PROMISE is one of the most meaningful methods for supporting missions. It is not a pledge.

TOTAL FAITH PROMISE GOAL

(12 Months) May 1, 2024 - April 30, 2025

You must each decide in your heart how much to give. And don’t give reluctantly or in response to pressure. For God loves a cheerful giver.
(2 Corinthians 9:7)

Creative ways to give.

Even a small gift, given regularly, can add up to a substantial donation over time. Get creative—defer major purchases, hold a garage sale, get the children involved with extra chores around the house, reduce spending, give your tax refund. It’s a great way to involve your whole family in the joy of giving something that matters and has a lasting impact. If you have any questions concerning your gift, please call our office at 316-283-4270. All gifts are tax deductible.

Typical commitments you can make over a 52-week period.
