Yield on Investment

Reverse offering investments?

One lady took her $10 and invested it in the materials to make baskets. Another lady invested her $10 in the materials to make a stained glass hanging.

At church Wednesday night, the items were shown, the investment explained, and the bidding began. No formal ceremony. No announcement given. People smiled, laughed and bid their hearts out, wallets open. They were excited and we worshipped. Not the money! We saw worship because people were bidding not on items that will become gifts or occupy their homes, they bid on life-change for others.

Simple. The money these ladies received in the envelopes from the reverse offering were invested into materials they used to produce a product that people wanted. That caused their money to grow to $175 that will be used to spread the Gospel.
