My Friend,

Paul wrote to his friends in Philippi, "Moreover, as you Philippians know, in the early days of your acquaintance with the gospel, when I set out from Macedonia, not one church shared with me in the matter of giving and receiving, except you only; for even when I was in Thessalonica, you sent me aid again and again when I was in need. Not that I am looking for a gift, but I am looking for what may be credited to your account. I have received full payment and even more; I am amply supplied, now that I have received from Epaphroditus the gifts you sent. They are a fragrant offering, an acceptable sacrifice, pleasing to God. And my God will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus."

As I read that passage of Scripture, it reminded me of my feelings towards you and the work here at Liveprayer. Paul took the Gospel to the lost and hurting in the world of his day by faith, trusting that God would provide for the day to day needs of his ministry. He looked to those that he ministered to to support his efforts to take Christ to those who were living without His love in their life. THEY MADE IT POSSIBLE FOR PAUL TO DO WHAT GOD HAD CALLED HIM TO DO!

He reminded them that in their giving, they were not giving to Paul, but they were giving to God. It was their obedience and faithfulness that God would credit to their Heavenly account. Likewise, as you give to Liveprayer, you are not giving to Bill Keller, but you are giving to God. It is your obedience and faithfulness that God will credit to your Heavenly account. YOU MAKE IT POSSIBLE FOR ME TO DO WHAT GOD HAS CALLED ME TO DO!

As we wind down the last week of this month, we are $9,100 short of meeting all of our financial obligations for the month of March. I am asking you to take a moment, pray, and ask God what He would have you do to help me today. I only ask that you are obedient, give according to your ability to give, and give what God is asking you to give. If it is $10 or $20, fine. If it is $50 or $100, fine. If it is $500, $1,000, $5,000 or the entire $9,100, that is fine. All I ask is that you pray and are obedient to give what God is asking you to give today.

Thank you so much for standing with me. As you are faithful and make your sacrificial gift to Liveprayer, I am sure that it is a "fragrant offering" pleasing to God. I want to leave you with the special promise that Paul left his friends with, "my God will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus." What a wonderful promise that as we are faithful to God, God is faithful to us.

May you be richly blessed today as we labor together for the Gospel!

In His love and service,
Your friend and brother in Christ,
Bill Keller
