Recently phone conferences took place between C&MA leaders in Colorado Springs and overseas regional / field directors. These conversations were a part of our desire to connect and listen well so that we can "live the call together." During that call, one of the field directors put forward the idea of funding the call together.
A part of "living the call together" is funding it together. Everyone who receives support from the Great Commission Fund can help raise the money. To assume others will do it while we benefit is not good thinking.
Everyone has to put their shoulder to this load so that we bear it together. It's just too heavy for a small group to carry.
If you receive from the Great Commission Fund, I'm calling you to two action steps. First, "as you have freely received, freely give." It only makes sense for you to give. Second, put your shoulder to the load . . . take action to help raise the funds. As we "live the call together" let's also fund the call together!
