Funding the Mission

The prompt for this journal reading asks how I feel about paying the local church apportionment to help support district and general church ministries. I think that support the district and especially the general church is essential! The Church of the Nazarene is growing all over the place, even in exponential numbers in certain places. With that in mind, it is vital to the health of the entire church to support global ministries. Part of this support is through encouraging and spurring the local church to pay the connectional budgets. The financial support is essential; It won't be long before there are more Nazarenes in places like Africa and South America than in the United States, and those places will need our support to further their exponential growth. Kingdom building all over the world... catch the fever!
