MISSION FINANCIAL STATEMENT 2009

Shalom All,

Greeting all the saints in Christ Jesus!

The favor which we had received, and for which we felt so much gratitude, had been received from you as Our Lord is the source of it, and we rejoiced of His kindness. Our heart lead with cheerfulness and joy up to God.

The power we receive in union with Christ is sufficient to do his will and to face the challenges that arise from our commitment to doing it. He does not grants us superhuman ability to accomplish anything we can imagine without regard to His interest. As we contend for the faith we will face troubles, pressures and trials. At every step of life, Christ is able to strengthen us and can bring us triumphantly through.

Money measures our energy, it represents our day-to-day security. Giving money away put our work and our futures at risk. Not every charity deserves your attention and you are wise to scrutinize missionary appeals as well. But once you have determined that a project honors the Lord, do not hold back as you give generously and joyfully. You will be establishing an eternal partnership.

We can trust that God will always meet our needs. Whatever we need on earth he will always supply, even if it is the courage to face death as Paul did. Whatever we need in heaven he will supply. We must remember, however, the difference between our wants and our needs. Most people want to feel good and avoid discomfort or pain. We may not get all that we want. By trusting in Christ, our attitudes and appetites can change from wanting everything to accepting his provision and power to live for Him.

In the Philippians 4 verse 19 - my God will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus. To our God and Father be Glory for ever and ever. Amen!

Blessing,

Rev. Steve Peter H S Kok and Sister Jenny P Kok
