Faith-Based Initiative

Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Mar 19, 2023

Is God pleased with our work if we run out of money in the middle of it? Is God pleased with our ministry if it doesn't seem to be successful? How can we know if we are investing our time and talents in ways that God will approve of?
