Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord. Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. Romans 12:11-12
“Together with generosity and detachment from material goods, we need to stimulate the practice of these virtues in our dealings with friends. In this way we will secure many blessings for them and their families.”
Francis Fernandez in In Conversation with God: Meditations for Each Day of the Year, volume 7 (London: Scepter, 1993) 323.
Today is my birthday. I am 57 and safely home. I pray for another year to simulate people to generosity and detachment. The more I do this the more I am blessed, and the more I spread blessing to an unimaginable number of people.
Here’s where I need your help. It’s not for me, but to extend blessing to underserved language groups, please listen closely.
GTP is working to apply for a major grant but we need to reach 100 monthly givers by 31 December 2024. We still need 48 more. Click here to set it up. Even $5, $10, or any amount per month counts. And for every person who does, a friend will give an extra $100 to GTP. That’s an extra $4,800 over an above the monthly giving.
And how will your monthly giving bless more people? Let me explain.
It will put GTP in position to secure a grant to add up to three more staff members to extend our reach to serve more Indian, Russian, and Korean speaking populations worldwide. Imagine the impact. That’s my birthday wish.
Join the global work. I need your help. Become a monthly giver to GTP. Thanks.
