DONATIONS
TOVYA MINITRIES depends on God to provide the finances to continue doing Gods work and to start new projects . Easo & Nancy John live totally by faith depending on God to provide for their needs. They do not have fixed deposits in the bank by which they can live on the interest nor do they have businesses or buildings that provide them a regular income.. Their day to day , week to week , month to month and year to year provision comes from people whose heart God moves to support His work for His Kingdom through them .Tovya ministry helps support ministers of God who are doing grass root ministry in villages and who are associated with us. They also undertake some amount of social work but the emphasis is on reaching the world for the Kingdom of God through His only begotten son Jesus Christ. Easo & Nancy pay their tithes regularly as a basic minimum every month. As the Holy Spirit leads them , they do regularly contribute for Gods work over and above the tithe.
1 CORINTHIANS 9 : 14 - Apostle Paul says,' For so the Lord has commanded that those who preach the gospel should live from the gospel '. Where did Jesus command this ? Read the gospel of LUKE 10 : 7 What does this mean ? It means that those who live in faith doing full time ministry should depend fully on God to provide their needs and not man. God will use men / women to bless a servant of God. This is the only way the gospel can spread all over the world. When a servant of God begins to look for other sources or other ways to earn a living then all the time is spent on doing this. The result is that Gods work is neglected and the priority is shifted away from God. In NEHEMIAH 13 : 10 the portion allotted to the Levites and the singers was not given to them .So they neglected serving God and went back to their fields. In 2 Chronicles 31 : 4 King Hezekiah commanded his people to contribute support for the priests and Levites that they might devote themselves to the Law of the Lord. The Levites were set aside by God to do His work. If they did not get financial support from others they would have to stop serving God fully. That is why it is important to send donations to God servants so that they can continue serving God effectively & efficiently for the expansion of His Kingdom.
If you are moved by God to send us a monetary donation of any denomination or currency , you can be rest assured that your name and the amount being sent will be kept confidential. Sometimes people feel shy to send money as they feel that they do not have enough to send. But we explain to those who are interested that Rs.1 will be enough to purchase a match box and a candle. Rs.2/- will be enough for a chickens egg and so on. For those who live by faith even a little money is a lot and its better than none. God loves a cheerful giver. 2 CORINTHIANS 9 : 6 to 14 As you give for Gods work and the expansion of Gods Kingdom on this earth God will start blessing you back. The gospel of LUKE 6: 38.
