• It is not a pledge! You sign NOTHING! No one but God knows what you promised.
• It is not something that someone will call on you to collect.
• It is not ever to be taken away from your tithes & offerings.
• It is strictly between you & God. If you decide you cannot give as you promised then you tell God alone. Only He and you will know.
• It is waiting before the Lord for His instructions as to what He wants you to give in reaching the world with the saving Gospel of Jesus Christ.
• It must be carried on by faith that God will supply for other things which arise as you proceed in giving what you promised Him. (II Cor. 9:7-8)
• Its aim is to never glorify individuals or organizations - Only Jesus Christ!
• Its sole purpose is to support the work of world evangelism which is commanded by our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. (Mark 16:15 and Matt. 24:14)
• It is designed to bring us into a closer and completely dependent attitude upon God and a more blessed fellowship with Him.
• It is Scriptural. According to II Cor. 8 & 9, the Apostle Paul practiced it. He would ask the churches to promise a certain amount and give them an allotted time to get it together then would come to pick up their gifts using them in the establishing of churches and winning the lost for Jesus Christ. (I Cor. 16:2)
• It makes giving a spiritual thing and establishes true consecration as the only valid basis for sharing with God our means. We "purpose" in our heart to give. This is the Bible plan. (II Cor. 8:4-5 and 9:7)
• It is an act of absolute faith with trust in the Lord. It sets a definite goal for our future service to the Lord.
• It is church centered, and provides missionary giving, which otherwise might not be available to individuals.

Reasons for Having a Missions Day

• To give people an opportunity to personally become acquainted with various missionaries, their testimonies, and their fields.
• To enable people to focus on the great needs of others. When we turn our eyes from off ourselves, God can then truly bless our lives.
• To revive people to the Great Commission to evangelize the world and to encourage them to dedicate their lives and possessions to the worldwide propagation of the Gospel.

How the Faith Promise Plan Is Carried Out

• The Faith Promise Missionary money can be placed in an envelope in any of offering plates during any service of the church. It must be marked "Faith Promise Missions."

We trust that you will pray and ask what God would have you to do to increase our missionary giving and to increase your faith. Many lost souls will be saved through your participation. Faith Promise Missions is another expression of our obedience to Christ's command to "make disciples of all people."
