Faith Promise
Faith Promise is a promise to give a financial gift, over and above our usual tithe, for global outreach. The gift, given consistently or one time, is based upon faith in whom God is, and what He is calling us to do with our finances. A Fatih Promise commitment is motivated and compelled by faith, trusting that God will allow us the means to give and serve needs around the world for His glory.
WHAT IS THE BIBLICAL FOUNDATION OF FAITH PROMISE?

Giving to Faith Promise is a way to help everyone going on a short-term team. Last year, Faith Promise funds enabled everyone, on every team, to go, and the funds also helped several of our missionary partners.
HOW DO WE MAKE A FAITH PROMISE?
Recognizing that everything we have belongs to God, including our money, and then trusting God to supply all our needs, we are promising that we will give back to Him for His purposes. When we pray over what we should give, we ask God to stretch us, as we trust Him with our finances. A Faith Promise for missions is one external expression of obedience to Christ's command to fulfill the Great Commission to reach all nations with the Gospel.
