 Solution

• Return to basic Biblical Offering

system
“God has devised a plan by which all
may give as He has prospered them,
and which will make giving a habit
without waiting for special calls....
Until all shall carry out the plan of
systematic benevolence, there will be
a failure in coming up to the apostolic
rule. (Testimonies, vol. 3, p. 411)
Systematic Benevolence
is the key answer to the
actual of offering
 PROPOSAL
ONLY ONE OFFERING

All departments and institutions

working for the same goal, each
will receive a percentage of the
One Offering Fund based on how
much they collected before.
 EMPHASIS

at home.

your income.

program

 Systematic giving:

times; one in the Sabbath School
time, and the other one will be on
the Divine worship.

 END OF THE
PRESENTATION
How to compute the “suggestive giving guide?”
Formula: Tithe Income of last year, less 20% as
your loss factor, equals your net tithe income.
Sample: Tithe Income-----Php 271,514.06
Less 20% LF---- 54,302.81
net tithe income-- 217,211.25 X
10% = 100% Php 21,721.12
Church Budget: Php 74,545.87= 3.3%-50%
commitment/member X 2=6.6%=100%
Table: 1%= 21,721.12 6%= 130,326.75
2%= 43,442.25 7%= 152,047.87
3%= 65,163.37 8%= 173,769.00
4%= 76,023.93 9%= 195,490.12
5%= 86,884.50 10%= 217,211.25
