Why Give?
The Bible asks us to give our first and our best back to God, and He will bless the rest. We return to the Lord 10% of what He's given us because it belongs to Him.
If you're not tithing already, a great way to start is with the Three-Month Tithe Challenge. It’s based on the promises of God in Malachi 3:10, and essentially it’s a money-back guarantee of sorts.
"Test me in this … and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it."
Malachi 3:10 NIV
Before undertaking the challenge, please read the following:
I understand this form must be completed and received by the New Life Church Finance Team prior to the beginning of the Three-Month Tithe Challenge Period.
I understand my household qualifies for participation because we have not been tithing for the last six months.
I understand I cannot seek a refund prior to the end of the Three-Month Tithe Challenge Period, and that I cannot seek a refund for any contributions made prior to the beginning of the Three-Month Tithe Challenge Period.
I understand any request for refund must be received by the New Life Church Finance Team within 30 days of the end of the Three-Month Tithe Challenge Period.
I understand if paid at a physical New Life Church location, my tithe must be paid by cheque, or by completed offering envelope, so that my tithe can be properly credited.
I would like to test God’s faithfulness by accepting the Three-Month Tithe Challenge. I agree that for the three-month period, my household will contribute to God, through New Life Church, a tithe equal to 10% of our income. At the end of the three-month period, if I am not convinced of God’s faithfulness to bless my life as a result of my obedience to His Word, then I will be entitled to request a refund of the full amount of contributions made during that three-month period.
