Tithe Challenge Stories

Here are some of the remarkable things God has done with the Three Month Tithe Challenge.

Med Student Wannabe

I have had a dream of becoming a doctor my whole life. I have been taking small steps for many years to help me reach my goal. A little over a year ago, I started the application process to medical school. I took the MCAT and didn't score as well as I would have liked. I started to doubt whether or not I was cut out for med school. I started praying a lot about it, and I felt God telling me to go ahead with my plans...He would take care of me. Two weeks ago, right after the tithe challenge ended, I received an e-mail from a school in Arizona, inviting me for an interview! I know that God will continue to provide for me because I will be faithful in my giving back to Him. Thank you for the opportunity to participate in the challenge!

Finally Debt Free

January 1st 2006 I was blessed with a new job. We then decided to make a commitment to God that no matter what; we would tithe on everything that came into our home. Birthday money, anything - 10% would be taken out. We also committed to giving towards Campus Development and volunteering at our campus. By March, my husband was able to start his own business. During 2006 we paid all of our bills, our previous bankruptcy was dismissed, and we were blessed beyond imagine to give a significant amount in tithes and offerings. It proved to us what God can do when you are faithful and obedient to him and trust that he is in turn faithful to provide. God answers prayer and he rewards you when you are faithful in giving back to him. We now have a great start for a down payment on a home, as we pray to own our own home again someday. We thank God for Pastor Craig and teaching us to be faithful and trusting with our tithe. The Lord truly blesses those who trust Him!

Blessed Beyond Belief

I had not been tithing or even attending church regularly for many years before coming to LifeChurch.tv. After only a few visits I went to the new member class and joined. I am a very selfish person and it was hard for me to commit to tithing and serving. I knew it was the right thing to do, but I was scared. I am glad that LifeChurch.tv offers the 90-day tithe challenge, because it helped get me started. I felt silly even signing up for this because I knew I would never ask for my money back, but somehow it gave me the little bit of faith that I needed to get started. God has left me with ABSOLUTELY NO DOUBT that blessings flow to tithers. I can't hold back the tears now as I begin to try and count the many ways God has blessed me since I began tithing at LifeChurch.tv. I really should have kept a list because it is incredible! I honestly don't know where to begin. God has blessed me with a wonderful new home. (I was renting a tiny apartment before.) I have had 2 "miracle" vehicles. I am currently making the most I have ever made working at the best job I have ever had. I recently asked for a raise and got 4 times the amount I asked for! My finances have been continually improving since I began tithing at LifeChurch.tv. Thank you Jesus and thank you LifeChurch.tv. P.S. I have also had a blast driving the golf cart on Sundays. It's hard to believe I get "credit" for serving doing this because it is fun and it blesses me.
