Financial Evangelism – A review

At the tender age of 16, I surrendered my life to Christ while residing in Entebbe, Uganda. Despite my parents’ reluctance to let me attend church, I discovered genuine fellowship within the school’s Christian Union Fellowship.

To my surprise, I was soon appointed as the treasurer of the fellowship, and I marvelled at the leadership’s trust in me given that I was a recent convert. Little did I know that God had a plan to teach me about stewardship and the significance of understanding the church’s needs from a young age. Even with limited opportunities to attend church, whenever I had the chance, I willingly contributed all my pocket money toward church projects, fully embracing the call of stewardship.

The journey of discovering a book that profoundly defines your identity in the Kingdom of God is a remarkable one. For my husband and me, this quest has been ongoing despite our involvement in various ministries. However, we noticed that our consistent thread lies in our heartfelt desire to bless men and women of God by taking them out for meals, shopping and showing them love and care. We believe they deserve moments of respite from their tireless service.

These men and women are ordinary human beings with their own needs and desires. Who spends quality time with them? Who can they turn to when the demands of ministry drain them and they seek support and understanding? It is this genuine care and affection that we have now come to realise aligns perfectly with the calling of Financial Evangelists.

Reading this book has brought us immense excitement as we finally recognise and embrace our role as Financial Evangelists. The seemingly small acts of kindness and support we offer within God’s Kingdom can make a significant difference. By caring for those who have been called to minister the Gospel, we become an integral part of God’s redemption plan. Financial Evangelists existed in the Bible and continue to play a vital role in advancing the Gospel.

I wholeheartedly recommend this book because the knowledge it imparts boosts your confidence to give even more. I express my heartfelt gratitude to Nelson and Elizabeth for shedding light on the existence and significance of Financial Evangelists, reinforcing the importance of our calling in God’s Kingdom. May God’s blessings be upon you both!

‘Financial Evangelism’ is an exceptional book that adeptly establishes a direct link between evangelism and finance, making it a masterpiece on the purpose of wealth for believers. Throughout the years, discussions on wealth and financial prosperity have ignited debates among both Christians and non-Christians. Some ministers of the Gospel have even been labelled as prosperity preachers, leading to discomfort for some believers whenever the subject of money arises in church.

However, Nelson and Elizabeth, in this remarkable book, eloquently argue that financial prosperity is a God-given blessing and that ample financial resources are essential for fulfilling the Great Commission as outlined by our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ in Matthew 28:18-20. They emphasise that the lack of sufficient financial resources has been a significant hindrance to modern missions.

As a Financial Evangelist myself, I have personally experienced immense benefits by giving back from the little God has entrusted to me. I firmly believe that if believers are faithful in stewarding the financial resources in their hands, the church will be empowered to reach even the most remote and unreached places in the world.

One of the most commendable aspects of this book is its practical approach to entrepreneurial success and wealth creation. It not only encourages believers to finance the Gospel but also provides valuable insights that will greatly benefit businesspeople aiming to stand out prominently. After all, how can we give what we do not possess in the first place?

However, I must acknowledge that there are believers who have been mightily blessed by God but have yet to fully grasp the purpose of the wealth bestowed upon them. Sadly, many believers have not been faithful stewards of God’s money, making this book an eye-opening revelation and a call for revival in the marketplace and among church leaders.

I highly recommend ‘Financial Evangelism’ as a must-read for every believer seeking a deeper understanding of the profound connection between finance and evangelism. This book holds the potential to ignite a fresh perspective on wealth, encouraging believers to embrace their God-given financial resources with stewardship and generosity, ultimately fuelling the mission of spreading the Gospel and impacting lives worldwide.
