Harvest, Copyright 2011 - Lauren Rees
Bill and Jan (made up names) were rocking along, living modestly when – wham! Bill went down with some kind of not-well-understood neurological condition. No insurance and now no income from Bill. The social security disability has been applied for, but that takes a few years to come through. How do you live from month to month?
You need help from family and friends. We teach our Program Participants that giving and charity is an important part of Christian development. We receive offerings from our men during our Sunday morning meeting every week. By tithing (10%) that offering, our Program Participants have helped fund projects as diverse as mission trips to Africa to providing food for single mothers and their children.
We are currently helping Bill and Jan by paying their auto insurance bill every month so they still have mobility in the little East Georgia town they live in.
We can’t do it all, but we can do something to bless someone else who is in need.
This is one of the ways we deprogram our men from the selfishness that comes so natural to all of us. Our hope is that our Program Participants will develop genuine selflessness and the love of Jesus to replace the selfishness. And they can believe for that Harvest that comes from sowing good seed in good ground…Tithe On, Brother…
