As God's family grows, new members accept their responsibility for the support of His work. The need for this become clearer when we realize that nearly 80 to 90 percent of the funds for the church's global work is supplied and consumed locally. The funds that flow through the General Conference provide the additional moneys needed. This sharing of resources is vital. The present financial plan to keep the world work going has not faltered.
Funds continue to be safely distributed for their intended purposes.
Even as we look forward to the day when the gospel shall be preached in all the world and Jesus comes, we must not be discouraged at adverse situations during the present time. Today's economic conditions continue to appear unstable. This should emphasize our need to press forward together with the power of the Holy Spirit. We thank God for the privilege of participating in His work.
