“When we handle money that has been given by God’s people, we are handling the fruit of God’s grace, the practical proof of human obedience to the gospel…Money that has been given as an offering to God is not just coins and notes or ledgers or pieces of paper or entries in a journal. When we handle money that has been given by God’s people, we are involved in a deeply spiritual matter. Their giving is their response to God, and our involvement is a stewardship of grace and a stewardship of other peoples’ obedience. That is what stewardship means: we are entrusted with something; we are stewards of something that is the fruit of grace and the proof of obedience.”

The meetings with Korean-American pastors and ministry administrators exceeded expectations yesterday. Thanks for your prayers.
