Summer of Faith ChallengeJune 1, 2007 – August 31, 2007
One of the marks of a Christ follower at Trinity Family is one who gives sacrificially. We believe the biblical and historical standard for sacrificial giving is a tithe (10% of one’s income). We believe healthy money management and giving a full tithe to God through the local church are two basic disciplines for experiencing God’s best in our personal finances. We believe God will faithfully honor financial obedience by 1) providing for your needs and 2) blessing you in areas beyond financial.
We are extending to Trinity Family the challenge to experience a Summer of Faith by increasing your monthly giving to a full tithe during the months of June, July and August. We are so confident in God’s faithfulness to provide that at the end of the 3 month period we will refund the difference between your full tithe amount and your average monthly giving the 3 months prior to the Summer of Faith (March, April, May). We are asking that each time you give during the Summer of Faith, you write 2 checks. One check equal to your regular giving during March – May and the additional amount necessary to equal a full 10% of your income.
To experience a Summer of Faith and to qualify for the money back guarantee, please fill out the agreement form on the reverse side of this sheet and return to the church office by May 31st. We are excited to see how God will honor this obedient step of faith.
