{FECA Vision Choir} A personal reflection and a commercial

In talking to Tim and various locals, I have come to learn that the Church of India, both of north India, CNI and south, CSI, hold enormous wealth since they received huge chunks of land when the British gave India its independence in (I think) 1947 and the Church of England gave their properties to CNI and CSI. But instead of using this wealth to bless the poor and serve the people, the church has become big business, neglecting the heart of missions even to her own people. CNI has already experienced tremendous attacks by the locals who forcibly confiscate their land. It is as our Lord taught in Matt. 10:39, "Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it," or in this case, the church that seeks to hold on to itself will lose it, etc. May we learn the lesson of how to give generously and graciously. As I see some (actually only a very small part) of what SFI is doing and learn that many supporters in FECG have stopped giving after only one year, may I urge you instead to double your efforts instead. God is no debtor and will richly reward you (Mal. 3:10). I also think SFI is something both FECA's missions and social concerns should get behind. I will be happy to share with you as individuals or as committees in more detail after we return and I am sure Tim would appreciate your support. Blessings.
