We are so grateful for the people who have lovingly supported us financially through the years. Some have made a one-time contribution; others have given to this ministry on a monthly basis for almost fifty years now! We are particularly blessed because all the donations we have received have been unsolicited by us, but prompted — we believe — by our loving heavenly Father.
Since the beginning of Timothy Ministries, we have desired
to imitate the faith of Christian heroes like George Müller and
Hudson Taylor, and to ask only God for our material provision.
Scripture convinced us that God Himself willingly provides for
faithful, biblical ministries and that nothing should obscure the
gratis nature
of such ministries (Matthew 10.8-9). In keeping with these convictions,
we have
always offered our
services free of charge and have never published financial
appeals or made our financial needs known outside of the
Timothy Ministries team. While anyone is welcome to examine our
financial records at anytime, no one is privy to our daily needs but
God alone. This provides very practical accountability for
us in that God does not hesitate to bring us to our knees financially
when He wishes to get our attention and redirect our ministries or our
personal lives.
Occasionally we participate with
local churches in a missionary outreach, effectively enlarging our
ministry team for a short time. On such occasions we will publish
project needs within those congregations who have ownership of the
project and who deserve a careful accounting of costs and expenditures.
Otherwise, it is our practice to talk about our financial needs only to
God in prayer — and we would not trade the last 50 years of answers to
those prayers for anything!
