| Faith Baptist Church uses the Faith Promise Plan to support our missionaries. All of the money received from the Faith Promise Plan goes directly to the missionaries that our church supports. |
The Faith Promise Plan
What it is:
A) It is a personal gift from you provided by God for missions
(II Corinthians 8:12).
B) It is trusting the Lord to help you to spend less for yourself and more for reaching the world for Christ (Philippians 2:13).
C) It is trusting the Lord to supply you with a mission offering sufficient for the task (II Corinthians 9:7 - 8).
D) It is a combined step of faith whereby you and the missionary both trust the Lord in giving and going (Psalm 50:14 - 15).
What it is not:
A) It is not a pledge (Ecclesiastes 5:4 - 5).
B) It is not something that someone will come to collect
(II Corinthians 8:12).
C) It is not a foolish step that is apart from sound business judgment and child-like faith in the Lord's power to provide.
D) It is not a part of your regular tithes and offerings presently given to the church.

Luke 6:38
Give, and it shall be given unto you, good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.

Tithe
The tithe is the first ten percent of all that we make (Numbers 18:26) (Proverbs 3:9). The tithe already belongs to God. We give after we pay our tithe. |
Offerings & Giving
Giving is anything you give beyound your tithe. One can not out give God.
II Corinthians 9:7 - 8
Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver. And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work:
