What is meant by sacrificial giving and equal sacrifice?
A sacrificial gift is one which necessitates changing our lifestyles, rearranging our priorities, and identifying something specific we can give up for the sake fo the Kingdom. Since none of us has the same financial resources, we recognize that we will not all be able to offer equal gifts. Everyone, however, can give something that is sacrificial. One of the basic principles of this Scriptual Funding Campaign is, “Equal Sacrifice, Not Equal Gifts.”
