Investing in God's Work

Forty to fifty thousand people made the 4 month journey of 1,450 kms from Babylon to Jerusalem. Their Babylonian neighbours gave them provisions, goods and livestock and precious gold, silver and gifts. Thankful for their journey and God's provision, the people now give a freewill faith offering to God from their wealth and according to their ability. We are called to invest in God's work freely and willingly according to our means.
