The Message Has Been Received .....
Our last business meeting we decided to opt out of the 1% club (chuches who gave only 1% to the BGCT throught the Cooperative Program). The other 99% of the BGCT money we would have given went into a money market account. We voted to do this in September 2007, so for 8 months, we only gave 1% of our normal money to the BGCT. We did this because we were upset that the money we gave in good faith was used in an improper manner, especially with the Church Starting Scandal.
Last week we wrote out a check for all the monies going toward the BGCT and I sent a letter explaining what we had done and what we were now doing. We are putting our faith back into the BGCT with the new administration. However, I also warned that if we heard of any other misappropriation of funds, we would resort to withholding our funds again.
I recieved a call from the BGCT yesterday, acknowledging the letter and what we had said. Their was appreication for the funds and also an apology for past actions. Their was a request for prayer as the BGCT moved forward.
The words from the BGCT were appreciated by me and they will be appreciated by the KHBC congregation. We will trust that our messaged not only has been received but has been heard as well.
