Lessons from Joseph - Saving


Last week Pastor Rajesh Hans was sharing with me something that God has been teaching him from the life of Joseph. He said that Joseph stored up during the years of plenty so that there was enough during the years of famine. He said that he realized he too needed to save for when there's not enough.

Rajesh, like many pastors really struggles to get by on the meager offerings of his church members. Many of the church members earn less than $3 per day. We've hired him to record some Bible stories and now to oversee some of our small groups. This helps out financially, but he says now that he's earning some, he's really got to be disciplined like Joseph in order to have enough when lean times come.

Pray for Rajesh and other pastors to be good stewards of the resources God entrusts to them and to save for the years of famine.
