WHY WE GIVE
|
The Bible clearly shows us we need to be givers. If we want to follow God we need to learn to give... "For God so loved the world that He GAVE His Son..." (John 3:16)
Jesus said, "No one can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and Money." (Matthew 6:24)
"Command them to do good, to be rich in good deeds, and to be generous and willing to share. In this way they will lay up treasure for themselves as a firm foundation for the coming age, so that they may take hold of the life that is truly life." (1 Timothy 6:18-19) |
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN WE GIVE TO KHCN
The goal for each house church is to be mission minded as well as sustainable. We do this by:
Giving money (tithing) is taught, encouraged and practiced at KHCN. Every dollar received as a tithe is sub-divided as follows:
- Meeting in homes, parks, coffee shops, etc.
- Keeping a low overhead... no building, maintenance or utility fees
- No staff salaries (including pastors)
Giving money (tithing) is taught, encouraged and practiced at KHCN. Every dollar received as a tithe is sub-divided as follows:
- 35% - KHCN Missions/Outreach
- 30% - Discipleship/Ministries/Resources
- 15% - Benevolence fund
- 10% - Miscellaneous Fees and Expenses
- 6% - Southern Baptist Co-op program
- 3% - Local church missions
- 1% - World missions
OTHER WAYS TO GIVE
Prayer
More than anything else we need prayer. Please consider taking some time each day to pray for KHCN, it's mission and the people of Kauai. God tells us... "...if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land." 2 Chronicles 7:14 (NIV)

Time/Serving
We give to God three ways... through our time, talents and treasures. In order for the church to function we can't just depend on money. We need people more than money. When the church comes together with an attitude and understanding of serving others for the glory of God then we will truly experience God's kingdom and His will being done on earth as it is in heaven. KHCN's emphasis is on serving others to the praise, glory and honor of God.

Using Your Gifts and Talents
Every one of us is given a spiritual gift when we accept what Jesus did for us on the cross. We are given this gift from God for the benefit of the church body. God has also designed people differently with unique talents, emotions and temperaments. Furthermore, we have all been through different life experiences and have different heartfelt desires. The goal then is to see how all of this fits together to find the unique YOU and use it for God's glory. At KHCN we will help you discover who God made you to be and the unique ministries that will best suit you.

HOW YOU CAN PRAY FOR US
God is doing a great work here on Kauai and beyond, through His faithful followers and churches. If you like what you see here, may I humbly ask that you commit to praying for KHCN and our ministries. There is no way we can do anything for God apart from our continued prayers. Thank you in advance. Here are some prayer requests:
- Pray for our goals in 2022, that God would work in each of them. May He also shut doors or open new doors according to His sovereign plan.
- Pray for spiritual growth for each of our members. Pray also for wisdom as we come together as a church, to make decisions that will best glorify Him and build His Kingdom.
- Pray for our discipleship initiative; for our people to understand the importance of being discipled and for them to make disciples.
- Pray for men and women of peace who will understand the vision and open up their homes to hold church services.
- Pray for more leaders to be developed so they can lead a house church.
- Pray for salvations. The fields are white for the harvest. Ask God to lead us to those "divine appointments".
- Pray for our KHCN families, that we would remain healthy and that God would continue to provide for us financially and spiritually so that we may abound in every good work for His kingdom and glory.
