Bryson and Mindy White Enroute to Paraguay 
At first glance, this may appear to be a boast of our giving and willingness to sacrifice. But really, this is a tribute to God’s provision.
You see, just because we’re training to be missionaries, doesn’t mean that we no longer have the responsibility to give financially to missions. We already had a couple commitments of giving before entering the training in August of 2007, so we kept doing that. I’ve never been one to be strict on giving an exact tithe, but I have looked at 10% to be a gauge of our giving. Well, due to those commitments of giving, for our first year and a half here we were giving about 12.5% of our income, which doesn’t seem like all that much except when you consider that the 12.5% came to a grand total in the double digits.
But recently, God has seen fit to increase our support as we get closer to leaving for the field, and we saw that 12.5% fall to 6.5%. Of course, that means that we’ll be increasing our giving, but the glory cannot go to us. The glory goes to God who sees fit to “give us a raise.” Thank you to those of you who responded to God’s urging in your life and have committed to supporting our ministry. I hope and have prayed that God will bless your generosity. Know that we’re in this ministry together. If you want to witness God’s provision in our lives, keep an eye on this graph that we’ll be updating monthly.
