Dear brothers & sisters in Christ,
We
are getting closer and closer to our vision & goal of attaining
our very own Church in the near future. We do not know how big or
small it will be, where it will be located, how much it will cost,
or when this moment will be. But, we do know that the good Lord will
answer our prayers, and we’re certain that it will be a reality
before long! It will also be our legacy to our children & the
generations to come.
Now
– before that happens, we will continue to ask you all to make
a contribution to the new ‘Church Building
Fund’. As you all know, the leaders of FBBC had made
a decision to ask for your contributions twice a year so that our
mission to have our own church building could be fulfilled. Yes, it
is getting close but not “mission accomplished” yet.
The
pastor stood before the congregation and said, “I have bad news,
I have good news, and I have more bad news”. The congregation
got quiet. “The bad news is: the Church needs a new roof!”
the pastor said. The congregation groaned. “The good news is:
we have enough money for the new roof.” A sigh of relief was
heard rippling through the gathered group. “The bad news is:
it’s still in your pockets”.
So
you see, we need the help and generosity of every member of this Church
– both young & old. And your next opportunity to make your
mark towards this goal is just around the corner…Yes, we will
have our next collection on Sunday, June 1st, 2008. Therefore, please
bring your little donation box, envelope, check, cash, etc. or whatever
to accomplish our collective goal of buying our own Church. We have
not because we asked not! So I’m asking and am confident that
God will touch your heart to give your best to this worthy & mutually
beneficial cause!
I
understand that it’s not easy to give as much as you want to,
at this time, after giving so much to help our countrymen/women who
had suffered and are still suffering because of cyclone Nargis and
its aftermath. Hopefully, you will “render unto Caesar what’s
Caesar’s and unto God, what’s God”. (i.e. keep 10%
of your earnings for God separate from the other 90%).
Did
you know that only 5% of the Christians gave 10% or more to the Church?
And even though 17% of Christians say that they “tithe”,
only 3% actually gave 10% or more of their income to God’s work.
But listen to what God had to say in Psalm 50:12, “If I were
hungry I would not tell you, the world is mine, and all that is in
it”.
So
God doesn’t need our money but we need to give to show our gratitude
for the many blessings that He had bestowed upon us. We will always
reap what we sow! May God bless you & may the seed that you sow
now will bring you a bountiful harvest - both materially & spiritually
– in the very near future.
With
warmest personal regards,
John Hla-Oung
FBBC Church Building Fund Committee
