More Than Support

In his bestselling book, The Treasure Principle, Randy Alcorn shares six keys that he and his wife Nanci learned when everything was taken away from them, including his ability to earn a living, due to a public stand he took for righteousness. As a result, over the course of three decades-plus, the Lord has multiplied his life, resources, and giving exponentially. Those keys include…

1. God owns everything. I’m just His money manager. (Stewardship)
2. My heart goes where I put God’s money. (Value)
3. Heaven, not earth, is my home. (Destination)
4. I should live not for the dot but for the line. (Purpose)
5. Giving is the only antidote to materialism. (Possessions)
6. God prospers me not to raise my standard of living but to raise my standard of giving. (Prosperity)

As we deliberate on October’s topic of raising support, my thoughts have gone to Randy’s book, and life example, as well as to the many ways that MissionConnexion provides support for the Church, the believer, the missionary, the sender, the mission organization and the list goes on…

Our upcoming regional conferences: MissionConnexion Southwest (November 3-4) and Northwest (January 19-20, 2024) offer a variety of workshop opportunities that will expand your perception of the “world Christian movement” and how you can participate in Jesus’ last, great commission…
