A Meaningful resolution...
Why Monthly Giving Could Be the Best One You Make This Year
By Shikha, S.C.M.A. Communications Director
When a new year begins, we all try to refocus our hearts. We tell ourselves we’ll pray deeper, serve better, grow spiritually, and stay consistent. These are beautiful intentions, and God honors them.
But sometimes, the most meaningful resolutions aren’t about changing our own habits… they’re about strengthening someone else’s calling.
At S.C.M.A., this is something we see every single day. There are young hearts ready to serve. There are older hearts still burning with vision. There are communities waiting to encounter God. There are leaders who long to teach, disciple, and share but need someone to stand with them. Monthly giving makes that possible in the gentlest, most meaningful way.
1. There Are Older Leaders Whose Legs Cannot Travel Anymore, So the Younger Generation Goes in Their Place
This is one of the most tender parts of our mission. There are older Kingdom Leaders, faithful men and women, who once dreamed of traveling from village to village, preaching, teaching, planting churches, and building communities. But now, because of age, health, or life circumstances… their bodies cannot go where their hearts still long to. Yet their dream didn’t die. It simply passed on.
Now, the younger generation steps into those journeys. They carry the same passion. The same desire to reach unreached places and start camps. The same fire to continue what the older generation started.
But to send them, support them, guide them, and equip them, we need resources.
Your monthly giving becomes the bridge between their dream and this generation’s feet. You help the vision continue, even when the ones who birthed it can no longer travel themselves.
2. Camps Transform Lives, And Monthly Giving Helps Us Reach Those Who Cannot Reach Us
Not everyone can travel to camps. Some are too far. Some cannot afford it. Some are tied down by responsibilities. Some are simply unable to move freely. Monthly support helps us bring camps, discipleship, leadership training, and encouragement to them. It ensures no one is left behind because of distance or circumstances.
3. Your Consistency Helps Us Stay Consistent in Ministry
When people give monthly, even a small amount, it helps us plan ahead, budget wisely, and reach more people throughout the year. It’s not about money. It’s about being able to say “yes” when someone needs teaching, resources, mentoring, or support for their calling. Your steady giving becomes a steady encouragement for someone else.
4. You Don’t Need to Give Big, Just Give From the Heart
Whether it’s $50, $100, $500 or whatever you feel led to give…
It becomes:
* Training for young leaders traveling on behalf of older mentors.
* Materials for discipleship.
* Support for camps.
* Resources for those who can’t afford travel.
* Help a child experience camp for the first time.
Opportunities that would never exist without support
5. It’s About Family, Not Funds
This isn’t a fundraising pitch. It’s a family invitation. To walk with us. To strengthen others. To stand with both the seasoned and the rising generation. To help dreams continue, even when seasons change.
Monthly giving means you become part of the story, part of the bridge God is building between generations.
A Resolution That Lives Beyond January
Some resolutions fade in a few weeks. But a resolution rooted in love, and lived out month after month, carries eternal impact. If God nudges your heart, consider making monthly giving a part of your New Year. Not out of pressure, but out of purpose.
