“WE’VE NEVER DONE IT THAT WAY BEFORE”
October 20, 2009 – 12:35 pmI was sitting on the front pew waiting for the service to begin. The pastor walked over to chat. It was the church’s first-ever Missions Convention. I asked the pastor for permission to tally the faith promises before dismissing the service. That’s when he said it. “We’ve never done it that way before, but let’s do it!”
So, last Sunday I explained the faith promise concept to Bethel Assembly and challenged them to believe God for a miracle. At the end of the service, after speaking on missions, Pastor Israel Flores and I tabulated the faith promises.
I could sense the enthusiasm beginning to build. Then it was like a mighty wave of God as the faith promises continued to come. A church that had given just over $3,900.00 to faith promises in 2008 committed over $32,000.00!
Maybe you’ve “never done it that way before,” but let me challenge you, as I challenged Bethel Assembly in San Angelo, Texas, to step out in faith and give God a chance to perform miracles in your life and in the life of your church.
Our only limitations are those we place on ourselves!

Thank you Pastor Fergeson, for bringing the word of God and for challenging us regarding faith promises. We have never done it that way, that’s true, but God has always done it that way…working in a miraculous way.
God continue to bless your ministry.
Thanks again…God bless you.

What an awesome report!!!
It is such a blessing to hear of congregations that are sensitive to the voice of God and respond when given the opportunity.
I am so excited about the increase in the faith promises for Bethel in San Angleo. I am certain that God’s blessings will continue to be pured out on Pastor Flores and his congregation!
