Every (non-profit) training class that I have attended always seems to come back to raising funds for the organizations existence. Many times this is a “turn off” to me. We started this venture to accomplish great things for God’s people around the world. Therefore, to spend 80% of our effort in gaining financial support seems counter productive. But, it is still always an issue. With most people that have been presented the mission and goals for LTA, the first concern always seems to be money. “How will you pay for it?”
LTA has been functioning for almost 10 years. During this time we have tried various short term programs, but they were mainly designed to get the name out: for awareness!
Rather than looking to receive, we have put our entire focus on giving and serving. The amazing thing about this approach is we never have excess, but we never have lack either. At times, when we look to our own ability, there is sense of discouragement. But, when we look to God, there is always an “I CAN DO!” attitude.
Now, with the purchase of property, establishing a staff house, hiring a staff and building the vision; our “Live to Serve” attitude is being challenged even more. Therefore, we will push ourselves to give and serve in even a greater capacity. So we can all watch and see what HE (GOD) will perform.
The walk is a day-by-day reality; as you do your
part for God today, God will open up unto you
the way that you should go,
Dr. Wierwille - Life Lines - Serving
