EVERYBODY
CAN GIVE SOMETHING,
REGARDLESS WHO THEY ARE.
Nobody is too poor to give.
I have pastored churches here in the States that
had very low incomes. I planted
my first church in the Philippines in 1980 where incomes were
unbelievablely low.
When I saw how poor those dear people
were I thought I would have to depend upon the
Christians in America to buy the land and build their
churches. At this writing (4-9-14) our
Bible Institute Graduates have planted over 90 churches and
over 60 Bible Institutes there
in the Philippines.
Each church is Nationalized,
self-supporting and support all their missionaries using the
Faith Promise method. None of our BAMA
(Baptist Asian Missions Assoc. Our National Mission
Board) pastors
have come to the States to raise money for their ministries.
Each work was and is funded
by the Filipino Peso.
(Some groups claim the same thing but they raise funds in the States and
exchange the dollars into Pesos.
Kind of deceitful I would say.)
We believe that God can give the Filipinos money just like He can give
us Americans money. Everybody can give something, regardless
who they are. Amen?
All praise and glory belong to God!
This is how God led us to do it.
