PARTNER WITH US
What is Partnership?
Is partnering with a traveling minister Biblical?
Partnership is an individual, family, or business making a commitment to stand with CFY by financially sowing on a monthly basis. ​​​​​​​​
We see the concept of regularly supporting a traveling minister all throughout the New Testament:​
​
Luke 8:1-4: "After this, Jesus traveled about from one town and village to another, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom of God. The Twelve were with him, and also some women who had been cured of evil spirits and diseases: Mary (called Magdalene) from whom seven demons had come out; Joanna the wife of Chuza, the manager of Herod’s household; Susanna; and many others. These women were helping to support them out of their own means.”
Philippians 1:4-5: “Whenever I pray, I make my requests for all of you with joy, for you have been my partners in spreading the Good News about Christ from the time you first heard it until now.”
3 John 5-7: “Dear friend, you are being faithful to God when you care for the traveling teachers who pass through, even though they are strangers to you. They have told the church here of your loving friendship. Please continue providing for such teachers in a manner that pleases God. For they are traveling for the Lord, and they accept nothing from people who are not believers. So we ourselves should support them so that we can be their partners as they teach the truth.
6 Blessings of
Financial Partnership:
Partnering with CFY not only supports us to do what God has called us to do, but also provides many blessings for those who give.
1
You are advancing the Gospel of Jesus Christ
Not everyone is called to be a full-time evangelist committed to advancing the gospel, but by supporting us financially you are actively involving yourself. You are no longer observing the gospel being preached to the lost, you are participating in it by helping SEND us.
2
You receive a blessing upon your life.
Putting God and His kingdom first will bring a blessing upon your life (Matthew 6:33). When you show God you care about what He cares about by giving, He will bless you abundantly and make you abound in every good work (2 Corinthians 9:8).
3
You reap a harvest.
There is a greater blessing in giving than receiving (Acts 20:35). This is because what you receive stays the same, but what you sow multiplies. If I eat an apple, I will enjoy that apple but it will only be one apple. If I sow an apple seed, after sometime I will have an apple tree producing an abundance of apples. Sowing month after month into a ministry will produce a great harvest in return (2 Corinthians 9:6).
4
You will receive eternal rewards.
Philippians 4:17: “Not that I seek the gift, but I seek the fruit that increases to your credit.”
Just as a minister will receive eternal rewards for his labor in bringing souls to Christ, so will those who helped send them.
5
Your giving is worship unto God.
Philippians 4:18: “I am well supplied, having received from Epaphroditus the gifts you sent, a fragrant offering, a sacrifice acceptable and pleasing to God.”
God receives every offering given cheerfully as worship to Him. It pleases God and proves your love to Him when you sow your finances to advance the kingdom.
6
You won’t lack anything.
Philippians 4:19: “And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus.”
This verse is often quoted by many, but in context this is a promise made to those who partnered with the Apostle Paul’s ministry.
