Faith
Promise
Thank
You for giving to Faith Promise. In previous years, Belmont Church members
channeled over $500,000 directly to our missionaries and their
projects. Your generosity had a great impact all over the
world.
10 years of Faith Promise
produced a lot of fruit. Click

Faith Promise
is how we support the World
Outreach of Belmont Church. It is ushering us into our new
era as a cell church equipping its members for impacting neighborhoods
and nations. We hope that the Faith Promise method of fund
raising honors God and establishes relational and prayer connections
between you and our missionaries. We see its proper use as
a paradigm-shifting tool of trust in God for our Partnership
In The Harvest.
We
value your participation and want you to be excited about
what we feel the Lord is calling all of us to. It is a godly
stretching for all of us to live by faith and not by sight
(I Cor.5:7).
A Faith Promise Is
a vow you make to God - not to the church and not to the missionaries.
A
Faith Promise Is
an exercise in faith over the stewardship of your finances
for world outreach.
A
Faith Promise Is
your response to His request.
STEPS
TO MAKE A FAITH PROMISE
- Seek
the Lord for the specific
amount He wants to make available through
you for World Outreach in the coming year.
- Ask
the Lord to help you walk by faith and grow into a faithful
steward based on his provision.
- Trust
God's counsel about the amount that you are to give. He
will give you His zeal with His wisdom.
- Become
more personally connected to
the missionaries. You can contact the missionaries to encourage
them and to get updates on their ministries.
- Collection
of your Faith Promise Response Card will begin during March
of each year. You will have specific opportunity to do this
during the Faith Promise Campaign. The response cards are
always available in the lobby so you may join at any time
during the year.
- Designate
your Faith Promise gifts by earmarking
them "Faith Promise" to differentiate
them from your regular giving. Your regular offerings will
continue to support the entire church budget including the
World Outreach office and administration.
- Keep
track of your gifts - since this is a vow between you and
the Lord. This is not a pledge for which the church will
hold you accountable or which the church will even individually
track.
