Connect for the G!


This weekend is our chance to participate in the G Offering. On a personal note, Peter and I are looking forward to the G. Why?
  • Because there are orphans and widows in distress.(James 1:27)
  • Because there are people who are hungry and thirsty. (Matthew 25:35)
  • Because there is a need to go into the world and make disciples. (Matthew 28:19)
I read this quote today: God takes full responsibility for a life wholly devoted to him (Charles Stanley). Over the years, in so many situations, we have experienced God's faithfulness and miracles. Even in a difficult situation, or with a harsh economic reality, it is a joyful thing to choose to give toward making other people's lives better.

We each have a part of the offering that is our responsibility. Have you prayed about your part? As leaders, we are an example in tone and the attitude to the members of our connect groups. Have you asked your connect group to pray about their part in the offering? Will you please take the time today and tomorrow to encourage your people in this area? The Connect Ministry can make a huge difference in the outcome of the G!

You are awesome leaders, dedicated to doing life with others. You help people grow, you give of your time and energy for the well-being of your people. Thank you!

Let's help others experience the same peace of knowing God and not doing life alone. Let's Connect for the G!

Here in Lima, the G Offering will help us help others to reach their God-potential in the cinema, in the capital city, in the shantytowns, in the orphanages, in the provinces, & in the jungle!

Ps. Steve

Met with the Doral Preschool team this weekend and then my connect group last night. We shared stories about how we've all been blessed when we were obedient. Prayed about and challenged them to pray about what we were each gonna do for the G offering.

It's an amazing feeling to be able to make a difference in someone else's life...as mentioned it's not about the amount but about the act and taking part in this great opportunity to give! Will share with my group tonight!

So many encouraging comments! Guys, you are truly the best. We can do this. Let's also keep bathing all these actions in prayer: prayer for the gift of faith, for sensitivity to God's voice, for His miraculous provision and intervention...
