Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously. Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work.

Psalm 112:5

Good will come to those who are generous and lend freely, who conduct their affairs with justice.

2 Corinthians 9:10-15

Now he who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will also supply and increase your store of seed and will enlarge the harvest of your righteousness. You will be enriched in every way so that you can be generous on every occasion, and through us your generosity will result in thanksgiving to God.  This service that you perform is not only supplying the needs of the Lord’s people but is also overflowing in many expressions of thanks to God.  Because of the service by which you have proved yourselves, others will praise God for the obedience that accompanies your confession of the gospel of Christ, and for your generosity in sharing with them and with everyone else. And in their prayers for you their hearts will go out to you, because of the surpassing grace God has given you. Thanks be to God for his indescribable gift!

Proverbs 11:24

One person gives freely, yet gains even more; another withholds unduly, but comes to poverty.

Proverbs 11:25

A generous person will prosper; whoever refreshes others will be refreshed.

1 Timothy 6:17-19

Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment. Command them to do good, to be rich in good deeds, and to be generous and willing to share. In this way they will lay up treasure for themselves as a firm foundation for the coming age, so that they may take hold of the life that is truly life.

Matthew 26:6-13

While Jesus was in Bethany in the home of Simon the Leper, a woman came to him with an alabaster jar of very expensive perfume, which she poured on his head as he was reclining at the table. When the disciples saw this, they were indignant. “Why this waste?” they asked.  “This perfume could have been sold at a high price and the money given to the poor.” Aware of this, Jesus said to them, “Why are you bothering this woman? She has done a beautiful thing to me. The poor you will always have with you, but you will not always have me. When she poured this perfume on my body, she did it to prepare me for burial. Truly I tell you, wherever this gospel is preached throughout the world, what she has done will also be told, in memory of her.”

As a partner in this ministry, you will be making a difference in lives around the world, and what a privilege it is to serve Him during these exciting times.

“And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.” —Matthew 24:14

When we minister to the multitudes, our partners are there with us. When we go to the nations through television and crusades, and when we see multiplied tens of thousands of men, women, and children weeping as they accept Jesus in their lives, you will be blessed with an eternal harvest for the seed you have sown.

There is a big difference between talking about something and taking effective action. Partnership projects should have a purpose toward which all of the partners who commit can be motivated to be involved.

Don’t partner if you can’t commit to engage significantly. However, with motives pure and organizations all-in, who knows how a new partnering venture might transform the landscape of a community, a campus or even a nation.

The emphasis of Christian humanitarian aid (meeting people’s physical needs) and the focus of most ministries committed to evangelism and discipleship ministries differ. However, I’ve seen such entities come together to meet more people’s physical needs, increase opportunities to share the gospel and, in turn, launch more new churches.

The value of most partnerships among ministries and churches is increased fruitfulness – an advancement of the Kingdom of God.

Generally, organizations should partner when they can accomplish more together than could be achieved apart. Several churches or ministries might consider coming together to share legal, financial or communications expertise and expenses to lessen some redundancy of work. Doing so could free-up added resources (e.g., manpower) to accomplish more in the field leading to more converts, disciples and new church-plants
