Heart vs: Wallet
Posted: December 27th, 2009, 3:24 pm
I just wanted to give a great big shout out to the local church that Nancy and I attend. Our pastor has a great heart for missions and the lost.
We are getting the year end records ready to be sent out later next week. Our locak church runs about 300-350 steady. Many were involved in real estate and have lost their jobs, several have lost their homes. It has been a great adjustment for many. Yet when it came to missions, they opened their hearts. Our local church sowed $51,704 into WMOF, our Mission Ministry.
I saw another little church of about 100 in the middle of a pasture in Texas who gave over $10,000.
So what do I glean from this? Its not a matter of large a congreagation wallet is, but how large their heart is.
