In the U.S.A., some of us think we are poor when compared to the rest of the world, we are rich beyond measure! When half the world’s population makes about $2.00/day at the most, I would say that almost all Americans are rich!
God talks frequently in His Word about helping the poor and those without justice. For example, Psalm 41:1-3 states: “Blessed is the one who considers the poor! In the day of trouble the Lord delivers him; the Lord protects him and keeps him alive; he is called blessed in the land; you do not give him up to the will of his enemies. 3 The Lord sustains him on his sickbed; in his illness you restore him to full health.”*
One of the things I want to define Truth in Love Ministries is that we help the poor. Not just the physically poor, though I do want that to be a major part of what we do, but also the spiritually poor – those who do not have access to the Gospel.
In 2012, we are going to focus more heavily on the international part of TIL Ministries and pray that you will consider partnering with us in prayer and financial giving to help us advance the kingdom throughout the world!
You are rich if you are living in America. Once you get out to see the rest of the world, you will recognize it. I pray God puts it on your heart as He has ours at TIL to reach the poor with what riches you have been given!
-Mark (“Lord, put a greater heart for the poor in me and in those who serve in TIL and those who are reading this quick blog.”)
