“He who keeps the commandment [of the Lord] keeps his own life, but he who despises His ways shall die. [Luke 10:28; 11:28.] He who has pity on the poor lends to the Lord, and that which he has given He will repay to him. [Prov. 28:27; Eccl. 11:1; Matt. 10:42; 25:40; II Cor. 9:6-8; Heb. 6:10.]”
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭19‬:‭16‬-‭17‬ ‭AMPC‬‬

“Yes, furthermore, I count everything as loss compared to the possession of the priceless privilege (the overwhelming preciousness, the surpassing worth, and supreme advantage) of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord and of progressively becoming more deeply and intimately acquainted with Him [of perceiving and recognizing and understanding Him more fully and clearly]. For His sake I have lost everything and consider it all to be mere rubbish (refuse, dregs), in order that I may win (gain) Christ (the Anointed One), And that I may [actually] be found and known as in Him, not having any [self-achieved] righteousness that can be called my own, based on my obedience to the Law's demands (ritualistic uprightness and supposed right standing with God thus acquired), but possessing that [genuine righteousness] which comes through faith in Christ (the Anointed One), the [truly] right standing with God, which comes from God by [saving] faith. [For my determined purpose is] that I may know Him [that I may progressively become more deeply and intimately acquainted with Him, perceiving and recognizing and understanding the wonders of His Person more strongly and more clearly], and that I may in that same way come to know the power outflowing from His resurrection [which it exerts over believers], and that I may so share His sufferings as to be continually transformed [in spirit into His likeness even] to His death, [in the hope]”

What will The Lord say about your giving when you stand before Him? Do you give with biblical guidance? Or do you give by taught principles? Most churches do not teach proper giving. The American dream also does not teach proper giving.

“And He sat down opposite the treasury and saw how the crowd was casting money into the treasury. Many rich [people] were throwing in large sums. And a widow who was poverty-stricken came and put in two copper mites [the smallest of coins], which together make half of a cent. And He called His disciples [to Him] and said to them, Truly and surely I tell you, this widow, [she who is] poverty-stricken, has put in more than all those contributing to the treasury. For they all threw in out of their abundance; but she, out of her deep poverty, has put in everything that she had–[even] all she had on which to live.”
‭‭Mark‬ ‭12‬:‭41‬-‭44‬ ‭AMPC‬‬

“He also told this parable to some people who trusted in themselves and were confident that they were righteous [that they were upright and in right standing with God] and scorned and made nothing of all the rest of men: Two men went up into the temple [enclosure] to pray, the one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. The Pharisee took his stand ostentatiously and began to pray thus before and with himself: God, I thank You that I am not like the rest of men–extortioners (robbers), swindlers [unrighteous in heart and life], adulterers–or even like this tax collector here. I fast twice a week; I give tithes of all that I gain. But the tax collector, [merely] standing at a distance, would not even lift up his eyes to heaven, but kept striking his breast, saying, O God, be favorable (be gracious, be merciful) to me, the especially wicked sinner that I am! I tell you, this man went down to his home justified (forgiven and made upright and in right standing with God), rather than the other man; for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but he who humbles himself will be exalted.”
‭‭Luke‬ ‭18‬:‭9‬-‭14‬ ‭AMPC‬‬

“I APPEAL to you therefore, brethren, and beg of you in view of [all] the mercies of God, to make a decisive dedication of your bodies [presenting all your members and faculties] as a living sacrifice, holy (devoted, consecrated) and well pleasing to God, which is your reasonable (rational, intelligent) service and spiritual worship. Do not be conformed to this world (this age), [fashioned after and adapted to its external, superficial customs], but be transformed (changed) by the [entire] renewal of your mind [by its new ideals and its new attitude], so that you may prove [for yourselves] what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God, even the thing which is good and acceptable and perfect [in His sight for you].”

One needs a God given heart. If we don’t turn and believe with that heart, we will be just like the Jews.

“For the heart (the understanding, the soul) of this people has grown dull (stupid, hardened, and calloused), and their ears are heavy and hard of hearing and they have shut tight their eyes, so that they may not perceive and have knowledge and become acquainted with their eyes and hear with their ears and understand with their souls and turn [to Me and be converted], that I may heal them. [Isa. 6:9, 10.] So let it be understood by you then that [this message of] the salvation of God has been sent to the Gentiles, and they will listen [to it]! [Ps. 67:2.]”
‭‭Acts‬ ‭28‬:‭27‬-‭28‬ ‭AMPC‬‬

Righteousness and faithfulness go hand in hand. What is God asking you to do with Him?

“The [consistently] righteous man is a guide to his neighbor, but the way of the wicked causes others to go astray.”
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭12‬:‭26‬ ‭AMPC‬‬

The [consistently] righteous man is a guide to his neighbor, but the way of the wicked causes others to go astray.

“I have coveted no one’s silver or gold or apparel. Yes, you yourselves know that these hands have provided for my necessities, and for those who were with me. I have shown you in every way, by laboring like this, that you must support the weak. And remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that He said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’ ””
‭‭Acts‬ ‭20‬:‭33‬-‭35‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Greetings, Church, this is a needs request for Restoring The Foundation Camp. Betty and I have been blessed to be part of this ministry. We started this ministry knowing and believing that this is what God wanted us to do. This is our 10th year of obeying the Lord and following His command. “Go then and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them into the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, Teaching them to observe everything that I have commanded you, and behold, I am with you all the days (perpetually, uniformly, and on every occasion), to the [very] close and consummation of the age. Amen (so let it be).”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭28‬:‭19‬-‭20‬ ‭AMPC‬‬

When Betty and I started this Ministry we knew it was bigger than us and the work was more than we could do alone. We jumped in with both feet and started down a very life-changing path. As challenging as the last 10 years have been, we both are grateful for what this ministry has done for us. It truly has been life-changing. Thank You Jesus. Only God knows the scope of what has been accomplished in His cherished people. We have been blessed to work with many broken men and their families. We have been equally blessed to meet many people who have offered their time and resources to help build The Kingdom of God. The Lord knows each and every one of you. Your greater reward awaits you when you go to be with Jesus. Betty and I are very grateful for all of you. I am writing this letter to let the church (body of Christ)know of some of our urgent needs. As some of you already know, it is tax time again. We have struggled every year with this bill. A few years back, when the financial struggles became more taxing on us, I asked The Lord for His wisdom and help in this matter. His reply to me was that He never intended Betty and me to solely fund this part of His Kingdom. So I am presenting to The Church this need. There is much more that I would like to share with you, but for now I will end with the needs list. Our two biggest expenses are taxes and light bills. If you want to be a part of God's Kingdom here at RTFCAMP, please contact Betty or me. We don’t know how much longer we can continue in this ministry without more help from the church. So please seek The Lord as to whether He wants you to help us to continue to grow His Kingdom. God bless.
