Article on Missions Faith Promise

Missions Faith Promise: What is It?

Faith Promise is a means of funding missions in the local church. It has been used for many years to help congregations increase their giving to God's missionary work.

The Faith Promise is a commitment between an individual and God. It is a one-year promise of a sum of money that an individual, in dependence upon God, intends to give to missions. It is not based on money that people have on hand. The aim is higher. People are urged to ask God what they should trust Him for, the amount that He will enable them to give for missions during the coming year.

"This requires faith; not faith-to-get, but faith-to-give. Ninety-nine percent of the time we exercise faith to receive something from God. We must learn to exercise faith to give something for God and His mission in the world." (John T. Seamands)

Faith Promise provides a way for God to enable an individual or a family to give to missionary work more than their calculations show that they can. They "promise" to give in "faith" that God will provide. They step out in faith with a commitment, begin to fulfil that commitment, and continue to fulfil it as God makes it possible .

Faith promise is a commitment to God, based on His provision, to give a certain amount over a specific time period (usually a year). In one sense it is not a risk, because the individual gives as God provides. On the other hand it is a risk, because the individual begins to give toward the commitment even before God provides.

Faith promise is a means for churches to receive more money for God's missionary work than they would otherwise receive because it helps people to give more than they think they can.

For Faith Promise to "work," the people must have a heart for God's missionary work and sincerely desire to give generously. It allows people to give; helps people to increase their giving by faith.

On the other hand, where there is a cohesive strong desire among church leaders to contribute powerfully to the missions enterprise, giving can be miraculously increased. Many churches over many decades have published annual giving totals that demonstrate God's working in this way.— ACMC
