“Store up for yourselves treasures in

heaven” (Matthew 6:20). The one sure investment is not gold, but money and resources invested in Gospel work. We have several opportunities right now to invest in God's work. Invest in:

Church planting among the Muslims through our team-- Ryan Connel, Stacy Stephenson, and Travis Lawrence-- attending the Partnership Con-ference in southern Philippines, May 20-24.

“Remember this—a farmer who plants only a few seeds will get a small crop. But the one who plants generously will get a gen-erous crop. You must each de-cide in your heart how much to give. And don’t give reluctantly or in response to pressure. “For God loves a person who gives cheerfully.” (2 Corinthians 9:6, 7)

May our Lord Jesus find you cheerfully generous!
