See the above videos for a deep dive into the topic of giving. The short answer is yes, but we are not to give under compulsion. Scripture says the Father loves a cheerful giver.

The General Fund fuels things such as:

• Supporting our elders
• Individuals & families in need who worship with us
• Feast attendance sponsorship for persons who cannot afford to pay for lodging
• Zoom, website software, texting & email system used for assembly communications
• Bereavement gifts (e.g., when an immediate family members pass away, etc)
• Other biblical assembly needs with the elders' direction as led by the Ruach

The elders are baruk (blessed) to have the honor and privilege to serve you. That alone is a huge baraka! Praying for them and their families is also another enormous way you can support them. Giving one-time or regularly to the Assembly's General Fund also makes it possible for them to receive financial support from the Assembly.

Giving to the Assembly's General Fund is the best way to help families in our assembly who request help. You have the comfort of knowing that all needs presented are thoroughly vetted so that we can be above approach (Titus 1:6-9) and good stewards of Yah's resources (1 Peter 4:10-11; Luke 12:42-43; Hebrews 13:17, etc).
