MINISTRY THAT IS DISTINCTIVELY BIBLICAL
Although the
history of modern fund raising is barely one hundred years old, the
people of God have been raising funds for building projects for
thousands of years. Since the time of the Tabernacle in the
wilderness, God has been instructing His people to give their best
for the work of the Lord.
During the first century, the Apostle Paul recognized that
sometimes churches need assistance in what we would today call
“stewardship development.” That is why he sent his fellow worker
Titus to Corinth with the challenge to help the church “excel in the
grace of giving” (2 Cor. 8:7). |

That biblical
challenge is the same one we at Titus Stewardship Ministries accept
as our calling-helping churches excel in the grace of giving.
Every aspect of a Titus stewardship program is based solidly on
Scriptural principles and precedents.
Jesus said, “It is more blessed to give than to receive,” and
there is great joy in learning to give the way God teaches us to
give. The essence of stewardship is lordship. As the lordship level
increases, so does the giving to God’s work. In a Titus stewardship
program, people are motivated to give first of all because of the
love of God, not because of pressure, guilt, or obligation. When
people recognize the great self-sacrifice of Christ, they gratefully
respond with sacrificial giving.
Personal and corporate prayers are the hallmarks of every Titus
program. Rather than relying upon secular methods like gift
profiles, pyramids, and personal solicitations, we trust the Holy
Spirit to reveal to each person what He wants them to give (2 Cor.
9:7).
