Recent Study Shows That Only 5% of Adults Practice Tithing

(Ventura, CA) While theologians debate whether or not the practice of tithing - donating ten percent (or more) of one's income to churches and charitable groups - is a biblical responsibility of Christians, Americans have pretty much made up their minds on the subject. Their views are discernible through their behavior. The giving patterns of Americans are described in new research released by The Barna Group, based on an annual tracking survey conducted by the firm regarding religious behaviors and beliefs. The results of the new research can be compared with outcomes from prior years to follow the trend line.

Tithing in 2007

Whether they believe in the principle of tithing or not, few Americans give away that much money. In 2007, the research revealed that just 5% of adults tithed.

How The Virtual Sanctuary Project Solves This Problem

While this statistic is very surprising, it clearly speaks to the inability of ministries to fund their vision when that funding is based almost exclusively on the ebb and flow of their congregants' giving habits.

We advocate taking total control of this situation in the form of connecting to a funding source that allows you to produce needed funding regardless of the contributions of the congregation.

Our vision is to partner with 1000 ministries with the goal of bringing 1,000,000 believers into the Body of Christ, as well as creating a cash revenue flow of $20,000,000 to fund the growth of our partnering ministries.

If you desire to expand the territory that your vision covers, and are looking for a way to generate needed funding for that vision, please consider reviewing the details of The Virtual Sanctuary Project by going to my profile page, then sign up for our free weekly webcast by sending a message to [e-mail]. Don't let God's anointing on your ministry be held hostage by poor funding. Take the step today to eliminate that obstacle forever.
