God First Challenge

We are challenging our Abyssinian community to experience the joy and transformation that comes when we put God first. 

This isn't just about money—it's about priorities. When we put God first in our finances, we discover the incredible freedom that comes from trusting Him with everything. We've seen countless families experience breakthrough, provision, and blessing when they take this step of faith. 

What does "God First" look like?

  • Start with prayer - Ask God how He wants you to be generous
  • Give your first and best - Honor God with the first portion of your income
  • Trust His promises - Watch how God provides when you put Him first
  • Experience the joy - Discover the happiness that comes from generous living
