Taking Up an Offering - Malawi Style

When Dennis and I were in Malawi last September, I was overjoyed with the way they take up an offering. It is done with great passion, great joy, and an absolute trust in God. Everytime I experienced this I would get taken by all the power of the Holy Spirit during an offering. During one of the offerings, I even saw orphans coming forward to give their treasure to God. Keep in mind that most orphans go hungry every day and most of them will never live to see adulthood. In America, some have this belief that the poor should not give. But given what I saw in Malawi, the reason for this belief is found in our disbelief that God will provide. In Malawi, everyone gives because they trust that God will provide. So if you ever get worked up over money and whether or not you should tithe, then give a watch to the attached video! God bless, Mike Gudka.
