How important are you? Chuck answers that when he writes,
More important than you think.
A rooster minus a hen equals no baby chicks. Kellogg minus a farmer equals no corn flakes.
If the nail factory closes what good is the hammer factory?
Paderewski’s genius wouldn’t be much if the piano tuner hadn’t shown up.
A cracker maker will do better if there’s a cheesemaker.
The most skillful surgeon needs the ambulance driver who delivers the patient. Just as Rodgers needed Hammerstein, you need someone and someone needs you.
Nobody is a whole chain. Each one is a link. But take away one link and the chain is broken.
Nobody is a whole team. Each one is a player. But take away one player and the game is forfeited.
Nobody is a whole orchestra. Each one is a musician. But take away one musician and the symphony is incomplete.
Chuck’s right. We need each other. Isolated islands we’re not. To make ministry work, we have to lean and support. And relate and respond. And give and take. That’s the relationship we have with our Monthly Partners and why they are so important to us.
A Monthly Partner is not a thirty–day replacement for your spouse. Rather, Monthly Partners are the members of the family, the links in the chain, and the players on the team whose contributions result in the funding of the broadcasts and resources produced by Insight for Living Canada.
Monthly Partners support Insight for Living Canada because they want to make an investment that counts right now, and for eternity. They want to see their dollars translated into changed lives of Canadians.
One of the things that makes our Monthly Partners so needed and appreciated is that they give regularly and systematically. They support the ministry through a convenient, automatic method—Automatic Giving. Funds are withdrawn automatically from your bank account or credit card on the date selected. This reduces processing costs for the ministry and there are no cheques to write, stamps to buy, or trips to the mailbox to make. Furthermore, this faithful commitment is a base of financial support we can count on each month.
There is another side to being a Monthly Partner. When you choose to become a Monthly Partner, you join the inner circle of the Insight for Living Canada family. And as a reflection of our commitment to mutual ministry we will provide you with:
- Your choice of the hardcover book by Chuck Swindoll, Jesus: The Greatest Life of All or the CD message series, A Life-Well Lived
- A 15 percent discount on all regularly priced ministry resources
- A unique Monthly partner gift each year
- The option to receive a complimentary copy of the monthly featured resource
- Ministry newsletter Inside Insights
Let me put it simply: Monthly Partners are essential to this ministry! We depend upon them to be the foundation of our ministry. And it is that support that we build on when we consider how God would use us in the future.
Chuck has said, “Very little work of lasting value to the Kingdom of God is accomplished without people of faith, conviction, and steadfast commitment.” Our Monthly Partners are these people.
