I was going through some old NCC paraphernalia and I came across a brochure from our first missions conference in 1996. Our goal was to give $5,000 to missions which at the time seemed like Mount Everest.
We're on track seven years later to give over $125,000 to missions in 2003. Zechariah 4:10 is one of my all-time favorite passages. "Don't despise the day of small beginnings."
Someday $125,000 will seem like "small potatoes" but we're going to be faithful with the level of resources God entrusts to us!
