God’s Word on giving to Him and His ministry:

The people rejoiced at the willing response of their leaders, for they had given freely and wholeheartedly to the LORD.
(1 Chronicles 29:9) King David said, "But who am I, and who are my people, that we should be able to give as generously as this? Everything comes from you, and we have given you only what comes from your hand."
(1 Chronicles 29:14) No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived the wonders God has prepared for those who love him.
(1 Corinthians 2:9) Jesus’ dialog with His disciples regarding a task seemingly too great for them, "We have here only five loaves of bread and two fish," the disciples answered. "Bring them here to me," Jesus said. And He directed the people to sit down on the grass. Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, Jesus gave thanks and broke the loaves. Then He gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the people. They all ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over.

Prayer for Faithful Giving to the Lord:
Dear Lord, Your Word commands us to "bring up our children in the training and instruction of the Lord." Dear Jesus, we desire to do this… we commit to do this… we ask Your help in doing this. O Lord, this task seems so great, and our ability so small in comparison to the need. Yet, You are a God of wonders and miracles. You have never called Your people to a ministry for which You will not open doors and provide means. Therefore, we commence this inaugural capital funding campaign for LHS-OC seeking Your blessing. We acknowledge that this ministry is Your ministry. It is Your ministry because we are Yours – You bought us at a price. Your Word tells us how great Your love is for us – that we should be called "children of God" – and indeed we are! We pray for our children, that they too will become "children of God" who are brought up in the training and instruction of Your Word and who know Jesus as their personal Lord and Savior. We pray that Lutheran High South-OC… ... would glorify Christ from beginning to end, ... would pursue and promote excellence worthy of Jesus Christ and His Word, ... would unite congregations and church bodies, ... would make a bold and inviting witness to the community, ... and would bring thousands to a saving relationship with Christ! Amen! Let it be so to the praise of Your glory!
