“In the last extremity, before this work shall close, thousands will be cheerfully laid upon the altar. Men and women will feel it a blessed privilege to share in the work of preparing souls to stand in the great day of God, and they will give hundreds as readily as dollars are given now.”
Ellen G. White, Counsels on Stewardship, p. 40
Stewardship
A steward is a believer (worshiper/disciple) in God who recognizes Jesus’ authority in his or her life 24/7. Stewards understand that they are in the world as God’s partners and care takers of His resources; and that they are called to a life of obedience, faithfulness, service, suffering and worship. Stewards are dedicated to God’s mission “to make disciples of all peoples”.
The 7 T’s OF Stewardship
Stewardship is Revolutionary Generosity
It is, first and foremost, about our relationship with God. Generosity is not transactional, about money only. It is transformational: spiritual, practical, and wholistic as described by the 7Ts of Stewardship. This relationship is the basis for our participation in funding His Mission—Spreading the Everlasting Gospel to the World, resulting in Souls for the Kingdom. This is in harmony with Stewardship Ministries’ Mission of co-laboring with Jesus, funding the message of Hope and Wholeness.
