Here is one testimony received this week from one of our family… When I started my consulting business last year for the first 3 months I didn't get any work and was having a pretty tough time. Doing lots of networking and coffee meetings and letters to contacts but not getting any contract work. Fending off depression was a battle but it was thanks to my wife and our small group and the Lord that kept me going. Anyway during the Missions week and towards the end of that period of depression I committed to God to give 10% of whatever I make from the business to Missions (ie. over and above our regular church giving). Soon after I landed my first job and now it’s all worked out better than I could have ever expected…
