The funding of the Great Commission needs to come from believers. The money which God entrusts to us has many purposes, and the funding of mission work is of first importance. Through the giving of our money, we demonstrate our obedience to Jesus’ command to reach out to all people. Paul wrote that, through our giving, we “test the sincerity of [our] love by comparing it with the earnestness of others” (2 Corinthians 8:8). Money and the Great Commission Jesus’ parting command was: “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.” (Matthew 28:19-20). Jesus was very direct and explicit with His mandate. There is no question as to where or with whom we are to share the Gospel. The love that God gives to us is to be shared by us with all people everywhere. He has given us our marching orders, and, in His strength, we can give ourselves fully to His work. For nonbelievers and those who lack spiritual maturity, the giving of money is done begrudgingly out of a sense of obligation. By the grace of God, our attitude toward giving is a “want to” rather than a “got to” give. We view giving as a privilege and an opportunity to spread the Gospel through our money. Our giving expresses our gratitude for who God is and all that He has done for us through His Son. Through faith, we hold onto our money loosely and then are privileged to experience the Because God has chosen to use us as His tools to bring salvation to all people, we must use our lives and gifts to spread the Good News. Paul wrote, “We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors, as though God were making His appeal through us” (2 Corinthians 5:20). One of the tools that God gives us to use in our mission of reaching out to others with the Gospel is our money. According to an old 3 joy of giving as we give God our first and best. As Christians we understand that God has a claim on all that we have, so we willingly and cheerfully give our money to help all people hear of God’s love. Money is an important tool for God’s mission. Through our faithful giving, we are able to leverage our witnessing to all people. CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL OUR SENIORS!!

We can live lives that give Him honor and glory; however, in some ways, the money that we give to God is one of the most special ways that we can worship Him. It is difficult to give money because there are many things that can be purchased with our money to make our lives easier and more comfortable. The giving of our money is a testimony of our praise and gratitude to God. Is there anything more worshipful than honoring God with our money? Testing your Knowledge of Scripture What parable could the following picture refer to? If you said the Parable of the Two Builders, you were right. “Therefore everyone who hears these words of Mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on a rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. But everyone who hears these words of Mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash” (Matthew 7:24-27). The wise builder selects a site on a rock. Then he will not need to worry about heavy rains or strong winds. A house built upon rock has a foundation that lasts. A foolish builder constructs his house as though he is pitching a tent. Through this parable, Jesus is telling us that a person who hears His words and puts them into practice is like the wise builder. It is foolish to hear the words of Jesus and not obey them. Such a person may be compared to a builder who builds his house on the sand without a foundation. Jesus wants us to hear His words and obey them. The Pump Needs to be Primed If you’ve ever been on a farm, you may be familiar with old-fashioned water pumps. When pumps have been out of use for a time, they can often be pumped fruitlessly. The problem can be solved by priming the pump with water, which expands the cork, bringing up water, rather than just air. Life can be compared to that pump. In order to receive, one may need to give first. We have to put something into life to get something out of it. Paul stated this principle in Galatians 6:7: “A man reaps what he sows.” Rewards and successes in life are earned; they result from hard work and time. This principle of priming the pump, of sowing and reaping, applies to our giving as well. It is true that God provides for all. Jesus Himself said, “He [God] causes His sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous” (Matthew 5:45). However, He also promised a special blessing on those who are generous in their giving: “A generous man will prosper; he who refreshes others will himself be refreshed” (Proverbs 11:25). As redeemed children of God, our main motivation for giving is our desire to respond with grateful hearts to Him for His marvelous gifts to us, especially the gift of His Son, Jesus, Who brought us forgiveness of sins and life eternal. We will desire to give, not for reward, but to honor Him with our lives and our time, our talents and our treasures. We will find that we cannot out-give God. Speaking through the prophet Malachi, God challenged, “‘Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in My house. Test Me in this,’ says the Lord Almighty, ‘and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that you will not have room enough for it’” (Malachi 3:10). Accept God’s challenge: put Him to the test. Prime the pump. Your Final Message Most people want to put off thinking about and preparing for the time when the Lord will take them to His eternal home. You should be prepared because only God knows each person’s timetable. Whether you are given a short or long life, you can have a final opportunity, through a will or trust, to share a message of your love for Christ and a gift to continue your faithful stewardship. Your last will and testament can proclaim your love of the Lord and provide an encouragement to your families and friends to grow in their faith. Through a Christian Preamble, which is the way you can begin a will or trust, you have your last opportunity to witness to your loved ones. If your will or trust gives a final testimony of your trust in the Lord, it will be a real source of encouragement to those you leave behind. It will comfort your family and friends to know that you believed and trusted in the promise that Jesus gave in John 11:25-26, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me will live, even though he dies; and whoever lives and believes in Me will never die. If your Christian preamble is in a will, your message will go beyond your family and friends, because a will is filed in probate court which is public record. A will or trust is also a wonderful time to put your love for the Lord into action with a gift for the Lord’s work through your church. For many Christians, this may be the biggest gift they make. A bequest in your will gives the message of Christ’s importance to you. A gift for the Lord’s work acknowledges God’s ownership of your life and things and that you are simply returning them to God Who provided them for your use. As J. Gregory Pope said, “Planning an enduring gift that supports and perpetuates the Gospel message is a significant— sometimes final—witness of a faithful and maturing disciple in response to the grace of a loving God.” May God grant us all an abundant measure of His grace so our final messages will bring glory to Him.

Shauen & Krista Trump (www.TheTrumps.org) Rev. Tim & Lisa Beckendorf (tbeckendorf@LBT.org) Rev. Henry & Ruthie Witte Please pray and correspond with our missionaries From the Beckendorfs Approved! Thank you for all who have been praying that our work and residency permits would be renewed. It is always a time of stress gathering all the required paperwork along with all the appropriate stamps of approval and submitting it on time. A Beginning… One of the goals for Tim, Moses and Splash is to teach literacy in several of the Khwe villages. One day a week is scheduled for literacy work. Splash is a natural teacher and comes alive in front of a group of people. One middle aged man who had never gone to school was reading at the end of the day. On the next visit to that village, before the session began, Tim was listening as that same man was reading from our translation of Genesis, practicing his new skill. At Last! We thank all of you who have been praying for the rains to come here. They finally did arrive several months later than normal. For those who planted their fields, the crops look good. However, many people did not prepare their fields or plant because it looked like the rains would not come. Please pray that good will be available and accessible during the coming winter and dry season. Since moving to our new house, we’ve had disastrous attempts at gardening. If it wasn’t the ever present nematodes infecting and destroying plants it was the local fauna eating everything. Tim has cleared a spot and built a 15x15 foot structure and covered it with shade net, made some raised beds to minimize the effects of the nematodes. The shade net keeps out the plundering animals and gives some protection from the strong sunshine. We have been enjoying sweet corn, peas, carrots, squash, tomatoes and greens. We give thanks for successful gardening & pray that it will continue. Donations Needed for Mercy Meals Please consider a donation to Mercy Meals of Siouxland.
