Whoever is kind to the poor lends to the LORD, and He will reward them for what they have done. Proverbs 19:17
“Surely you see the multitudes of poor people in the street, how they remain outdoors even though they are sick or naked? Some are younger, some are older, some of them are leaning on one another for support — how great is their misfortune! Give, therefore, to your fellow servants, so that you might have the Master in your debt, for he gladly becomes your debtor and pays back your investment with interest.”
John Chrysostom (347-407) in On Fasting and Almsgiving.
Tough times fall on everyone, old and young.
Today’s Scripture and words from John Chrysostom alert us to the fact that the LORD sees when we help those in need and will reward those who act generously: He gladly becomes your debtor.
God cares so much that we help others, He stands ready to replenish and reward the faithful.
This Lent, I want to give you that opportunity right now. Because GTP did not hit our year-end funding target, I learned that we have only about 60 days cash on hand.
This is a first for me as President and CEO. We’ve never been this low on cash since GTP started.
Rather than keep the need quiet, I humbly ask for help. Can you join GTP as a monthly giver today. Set it up here. Whether you give $10 or $100, your monthly support will keep the work going.
I am fasting and praying for monthly supporters. Seek the Lord and join us in the work at the level God leads you.
In obedient service to Jesus Christ, GTP multiplies faithful stewards and mobilizes peer accountability groups (like ECFA in USA) to build trust and grow local giving to God’s work.
Looking for partners to help make sure this work continues for months and years to come.
