Thanks Kevin Deyoung for an exhortative and instructive word concerning "budgeting for missions that fulfill the Great Commission." Fact is, I fail at strategizing my giving to fit Kingdom purposes when such comes to missions. Do I give to missions? Yes. Do I desire to give more to missions? Absolutely. However, I must be strategic in planning to give in the days and years ahead, as well as leading my church family to do the same. Kevin's article "Questions for Your Missions Budget," which can be found here will provide some food for thought as I pray and consider our next budget year both in my immediate family and local church family.
