The State of Church Giving through 2002
Chapter 8 Highlights
| • | Church members care about local and global need as demonstrated by their response to emergency situations. |
| • | The resources exist to solve, rather than just cope with, many of the life-threatening problems faced particularly by those in other areas of the world. |
| • | Church members want to know what their money is doing when it leaves the congregation. |
| • | There is a need for a logical approach if church members are to be challenged to increase giving to missions. |
| • | One strategy, first offered in 1984 and now presented in a twenty-year update, is the idea of a Yoking Map. This strategy distributes resources based on the location of physical and spiritual needs around the globe. |
| • | Whether church members choose to increase giving to help their neighbors is a basic moral choice. |
