“Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” —Matthew 6:19–21
We are embarking on a journey towards an enduring IBCM ministry dedicated to spreading the message of Christ to the farthest corners of the Earth. The Founder to the Future Foundation endowment campaign is the IBCM’s Road to 2040 legacy-endowment building campaign designed to grow the IBCM Endowment Fund to become self-sustaining. This is the vision and intent of the Road to 2040 Endowment growth campaign to increase the IBCM Endowment fund in three 5-year giving campaigns.
The campaigns are:
- 2030: Following in the Founder’s Footsteps
- 2035: Resourcing the Harvest
- 2040: Sending out Workers into His Harvest
By investing in the Road to 2040 IBCM Endowment growth campaign, we are enabling the Great Commission future of the IBCM, the IBC and International English-language churches to globally present the Gospel to bring all people to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ.
- As stewards entrusted with the sustainability of the IBCM Endowment, we are called to plant and water through the fund just like Paul and Apollos did with the Gospel.
- We are called good stewards in service to Jesus Christ and ensure the future of the IBCM by preparing leaders who can carry on the mission by planting the seeds of the Gospel so that others may harvest.
- By planting the seeds of the Gospel and nurturing believers, we are fostering a thriving and generous ministry to further the Kingdom of God into the future.
- We may never know the full impact of our seed planting, but our greatest opportunity to impact generation and glorify God and is right in front of us.
“Unless the Lord builds the house, the builders labor in vain. Unless the Lord watches over the city, the guards stand watch in vain.” Psalm 127:1
