Giving to “Open the Windows”

Jesus says, “Where your treasure is there your heart will be also.” (Matthew 6:21)

Giving is a part of discipleship. We should always go into the process recognizing that it starts because our
God is a generous God.

As concerned individuals, sometimes we become worried that the money we give may be used for things
outside of our control. Isn’t that the point? Engaging in an intentional prayer conversation with God as to
His plan for us and our role in the “Open the Windows” campaign should prepare and equip us to go where
He leads, and to do what He calls us to do.

If in the answer to your prayers you feel called to give, you don’t need to worry about the stewardship of that
gift after it is given. When we are obedient to what God is calling us to do, we can trust that God will use
what we are giving for His purposes and intentions. Our God is an awesome God and He is at work here at
St. Andrew’s Church.
