'!'ithe___R_ayers Reap Blessing�
Enclosed is our tithe. My husband was just awarded a 20% raise-­
several months earlier than his annual raise was scheduled!
(Rather
unusual for a 20% raise these days!)
A few weeks later he received
a "bonus" check--a nice big one!! We enjoy helping the Work of the
Living God.
We have moved a lot so every time we buy a house, we look for the
best buy for resale value. Somehow we always find the ones that are
below price and up in value!
Just thought I'd write the above to let you know our good fortune
and how God helps us help the Work!
Julie Bob & Lee Gilbert (Mt. Airy, MD)
I wish to inform you that my savings bond has just won a prize, so
I think it is proper for me to give a tenth of it for the Work of
God. Earlier, I had been asking God to help my family go through
our financial crisis, and God answered me in a way I least expected.
I thank God for His goodness and wonderful way of answering my prayer.
Emilio B. Que (Isabela, Philippines)
God has blessed me by making it possible to buy a brand new house.
This is something that a year ago I never dreamed would happen. In
fact I never even hoped it would happen. Paying tithes is what did
it.
Juanita Catlett (Sultan, WA)
Please accept my small tithe. God has truly rewarded me. Shortly
after sending in my last tithe, I was burning some old birthday
cards, and while going through them I found the exact same amount
(I think) that I had sent in since I began tithing. Truly God is
Great.
John P. (Corner Brook, Nfld., Canada)
Please find enclosed our latest tithe check. We would like you to
know that since beginning to tithe recently, it has been a real
thrill to find God helping us in many little ways financially. Our
cash in hand gets stretched effortlessly every week. We have just
received a lump sum and have no hesitation in adding a tenth of it
to our usual tithe. This was something we would not have felt able
to do only a year ago, having a young family and thinking every cent
must be carefully guarded. Now we are in a situation where financial
worries, from being near the top of the list, are scarcely referred
to. Each day can be faced with a sense of gratitude knowing that in
this and other more important areas of our lives God is showing His
hand.
